I had applied online. I got an email few days later to set first initial phone screen. The phone screen interview went well, the usual questions on resume and basic technical questions. The company uses MEAN stack and I had mentioned on the call that I have only working knowledge of MEAN stack. He said that it's fine as I will be interviewed only on what I have worked till now and even if I am not selected then not knowing MEAN stack will not be the reason for disqualification. He explained what the company does very well.
I had a second telephonic few days later which was based on more technical questions. He also mentioned that I have good testing/ automation experience. I said cause I had taken a course for testing but my other courses are all development related. Rest of my interview went well.
Both my interviews went really good but few days later I got a reject saying that my skill set does not match with the job role. I mean why did they proceed with second round and when knowing MEAN stack is not required was mentioned by him in the first call why I was rejected. If I was given a reason like I did not do well in the interview - I would have accepted this reason but looks like the rejection email was a automated one. I tried taking follow up with both the interviewers for feedback but no one responded.
I had a startup of my own and love the startup environment. I was really looking forward to the onsite interviews and work with them.
