Red Flag: Outdated evaluation focused on memorization, not engineering.
Pros: Clear interview stages.
Cons: The technical interview is a major red flag for senior developers. Despite claiming to value problem-solving, the technical interviewers are cold and strictly focused on a "script" of syntax memorization.
They disregard proven architectural experience and strategic thinking, demanding that you recall specific code by heart without any consultation—ignoring how modern engineering actually works with AI and documentation. If you value professional respect and a modern work culture, stay away from this "company". The process feels like a "check-the-box" exercise rather than a high-level technical discussion.
