I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BuildingMinds in Jul 2025
Interview
Unfortunately, the actual interview experience was the polar opposite. After being advanced to a second-round interview based on a video introduction and initial screening, I met with a senior executive who joined the call nearly 10 minutes late, barely acknowledged my greeting, and immediately began reading my CV — suggesting he had not reviewed it beforehand. Within 10 minutes, I was told that “this is a waste of time” and that my profile did not match. The conversation was abruptly ended with no meaningful discussion.
This wasn't just a rejection — it was a complete breakdown in basic professionalism. Such treatment not only disrespects the candidate, but also undermines the efforts of the recruiting team and sends a troubling message about internal alignment and culture.

Question 1
Did not take the time to ask any serious questions.
Lots of interviews with all stakeholders, it was great to meet the team, and it took around 7-8 different people interviewing. Mix of work culture fit, goals, and talent / background to understand possible role.

Question 1
How would I describe what they do to someone that doesn't understand it?
The interview had 3 steps:
1. general behavioral interview
2. interview with my manager and future colleagues
3. if accepted, hr interview with all info regarding documents, onboarding etc.
I was asked about ma education, career goals and also some information about BuildingMinds (the last is crucial)
