In February, I had an interview with the tech team. I enjoyed talking with them, but I didn't receive an offer. The interview was divided into two parts: one focused on Python and the other on React. During the interview, the entire principal team—around six or seven members—was observing how I solved the coding challenges. For the Python section, I had to debug an issue in a small Flask project they had prepared. They shared a Replit link where I could see the exercise, and I had to fix the issue while explaining all my steps. The React section was similar. They provided a new project with three issues, and I had to resolve all of them. After completing the coding challenges, they asked behavioral questions, and we discussed various topics since we had plenty of time. They were very kind and personable, cracking some jokes, and I felt a great connection with them. I genuinely wanted to work with them. Unfortunately, they decided to keep me in consideration while continuing to interview other candidates. They mentioned that I had performed well but wanted to evaluate more applicants. However, they kept me in that status for almost two months, and in the end, they chose another candidate. I understand that they need to find the right candidate who fits their culture and can contribute to the company's goals, but keeping me in limbo for nearly two months before ultimately rejecting me was a really disappointing experience.
