Interview
Effective communication and transparency are fundamental aspects of a professional hiring process, and this company failed miserably in those regards. I would advise future candidates to proceed with caution and be wary of the potential for false promises and unprofessional conduct. The whole process lasted 3 months. After each stage, I was given positive feedback. During my final interview, they literally said, "We're so impressed with your professional background," and "We definitely want to hire you, we want to see you as part of our team." These promising words filled me with optimism about my potential future with the company. Yet, after that conversation, they ghosted for a full two weeks. Concerned about the prolonged silence, I reached out to the recruiter to check the status of my application. The recruiter replied a week later and promised to get back to me by the mid-following week, mentioning that they were still in an ongoing decision-making process. However, the next day I learned from a friend that the company had already extended an offer to someone else, and that offer had been accepted. This revelation was not only disheartening but also deeply unprofessional and dishonest. Furthermore, the lack of empathy displayed during the rejection process added to my dismay. I received the rejection email well beyond the promised deadline. The day after, the Hiring Manager called me and mentioned, "I called to make sure that there was no politics in this decision." Isn't this simply a Freudian slip? She went on to explain that the company had decided to go with a more junior candidate to meet budgetary caps. This lack of empathy in their communication only underscored the company's disregard for candidates' time, feelings, and the importance of keeping promises. This review reflects my personal experience and the issues I encountered throughout the hiring process with this company.

Question 1
Imagine you have an important release next Monday, marketing communication is out about new features and you find a major bug on Friday. What are your actions? How do you ensure transparency of what your teams do? Tell me about a situation when you failed. What is your most important success that you're proud of? How do you measure your team's success? What are the metrics you use to track the delivery of your project? Describe agile practices/frameworks that you used in the past.
Just a normal interview process, you give a talk and talk to a couple of people on the team. Everyone is really nice and friendly. There are some technical questions but everyone is really respectful.
