Interviewers seemed like genuinely nice people and the overall communication was smooth.
That said, the evaluation criteria felt overly dependent on how well you can recall specific theoretical details in the moment, rather than on actual hands-on experience or problem-solving ability.
It’s a bit funny that after years of professional development experience, your entire seniority can be decided by how precisely you remember a few niche details during one interview.
Would be great if they focused more on real-life scenarios, coding approach, and collaboration skills rather than memory-based questions.
