Interview
Tres rondas de entrevistas: una primera via Google Meet muy basica de 15 minutos, una entrevista tecnica y otra mas formal con el cliente. Todas fueron bastante impersonales y distantes.

Interview
Weird interview process. First I was emailed by someone who could only communicate in broken English to check for my availability for an interview. Sent availability but didn't hear back until 1 month later. Gave availability again then ghosted again until a VP reached out to see if I was still interested. Finally got an interview pinned down, basic HR interview, talked about my experience, they were using the same tech stack that I have experience with (Next.js, React, Vercel, AI tools).
This interview went well and I was informed that the next interview would be scheduled on the following Monday. Then I receive an email that says they've moved on with another candidate.
Compensation was on the low side for a US based role, looks like they use Ukrainian contractors.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your experience and how it aligns with the role.
I had a screening interview with a US-based Russian interviewer. The feeling on the interview was of a generic culture of mistrust, and two-faced communications - officially, everything is perfect, calm and honest. Deep inside - very not fine. So much passive-aggressive.
