I interviewed for the Associate Software Engineer role, and the entire process felt highly unprofessional and poorly managed. From the very first interaction, it seemed like there was little genuine interest in evaluating candidates fairly. I’ve heard similar experiences from others as well.
What stood out most was the lack of basic interview etiquette. The senior HR appeared disengaged, frequently occupied with their laptop, while the senior developer was using a mobile phone during the interview. This gave a clear impression that the candidate’s time and effort were not respected.
Another major concern was that I was not given the opportunity to fully complete my answers. The senior HR repeatedly interrupted or moved on before I could properly explain my responses, which made the interaction feel rushed and one-sided rather than a genuine evaluation.
The interaction with the senior HR was particularly disappointing. Instead of a constructive or professional discussion, the approach felt unnecessarily overconfident and lacked clarity or meaningful direction.
Overall, the experience reflected a lack of professionalism, structure, and respect for candidates. It raised serious concerns about the work culture and internal standards of the organization.
