The first part was technical with a spring boot project, which was fine, then was hr screening and then another technical, which didn’t get me further, although I thought I did well. The interview did not feel friendly in my opinion

Interview
Lengthy interview process with unclear expectations. The interview process at Moss was thorough but overly extensive, involving 6 interviews over 5 hours, including a 2.5-hour session with back-to-back meetings. While the team was professional, the process seems excessive for a mid-tier company. Also, because they communicated at the end of the process that there was a specific need for direct fintech development experience, the whole process was a waste of time. Despite the fact that I clearly communicated what my skills and experience to-date covered at the beginning of the process. Applicants should confirm exact role requirements early to avoid investing time in a mismatched process. Better clarity would improve the candidate experience.

Question 1
The CTO asked me (in the final interview) whether I had any direct experience working on fintech platforms. I had already answered that in the screening interview and it seems like that wasn't communicated. Honestly, the whole process was big time-sink and very frustrating as it took away time from other opportunities that were in progress.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that the interview process felt frustrating and overly time-consuming from your perspective. Our goal is always to run a thorough but respectful process that balances depth with efficiency — especially in roles where fintech expertise plays a significant part. That said, it’s clear we could have communicated expectations more clearly and consistently from the start in your case.
We appreciate your point about internal alignment during the interview process and take that seriously — especially when it comes to minimizing repetitive or misaligned questions. Your feedback helps us refine how we structure conversations and how early we communicate role-critical requirements.
Thank you again for your time and openness. We wish you all the best for your next steps.

No algorithm, realistic case. Concrete questions and clear expectation. In general the reviewer knowledge is medium but open and humble. Code pairing then design interview. After then is team interview & offer
