Vorstellungsgespräch
The staff that I talked with were very responsive and great to work with. It started with a hr recruiter screening, followed by a technical, then had final rounds scheduled.
The technical was a graphs leetcode style question on Coderpad and was not too difficult. The person I worked with was nice to chat with afterwards too.
The recruiter reached out a day before the final round about their company entering a hiring freeze and had to cancel all active interviews with me.

Frage 1
Coding question with pre-written test cases and classes. The interviewee had to fill in the class functions and ensure all test cases worked. It was a graph question.

Vorstellungsgespräch
Interviewer was late and rescheduled 2 hours later. 2 hours later she was still late by about 15 minutes and appeared right before I was about to close the call.
The interview itself did not have a lot of clarity. One thing I was dreading that there would be 6 stages of interviews, which is absolutely excessive.
Later I got an automated rejection without any explanation, even thought the interviewer mentioned "strange that we never contacted you with such a strong profile".
I must say the whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth, because I feel I was not respected as candidate nor as a person. Especially because interviewer's excuse was an issue with scheduling software, which felt like a nonsensical lie (like, can't you see the calendar?)

Process took ~3 months for four interviews or so, waiting multiple weeks between steps. I was given an offer at the end, but after accepting it they took back the offer citing internal restructuring. Incredibly unprofessional.

Tell me about a time when you identified a "blind spot" in your team's collective perspective towards solving a problem. How did it impact your work? What was your approach to addressing it?
