I applied through other source. I interviewed at Sonatype in Feb 2026
Interview
One of Sonatype's recruiters reached out to me about the role. I did not apply. I was passed to a different recruiter who did not provide timely updates about the interview process and steps. Expectation was set at the end of the screening interview to move forward to meet with the VP. I had to follow up multiple times with the recruiter to schedule the next call. 2 weeks later I received an automated email from 1st recruiter stating they moved forward with a different set of candidates.
They initiated contact with me. This experience left a negative impression about the company.
Initial call with recruiter, video call with recruiter, meeting with hiring manager, two online tests (CCAT and personality) meeting with another CSA, technical presentation. The recruiter was really nice, just a reallyy long dragged out process. Be prepared to take a CCAT. They said everyone has to take one. Everyone was really nice along the way, just didn't end up being a good fit
