Interview
I’ve never experienced such a poorly organized interview process. I realized quite late that it was a waste of time.
At the end of the third interview (not counting the initial call with HR), I was told I’d need to go through two more interviews—for a basic position with a 25k base salary.
The first two interviews felt straightforward. Both interviewers were new in the company (less than six months).
In the third interview, the TL followed a very methodical process—asking specific questions like from a checklist.
I tried to ask questions and make the interview more conversational, but he wasn’t really engaging. Even though he said he likes questions, he barely spent any time answering.
When I asked the recruiter about the hiring date, she seemed unsure what I was referring to. I knew the hiring date is begining of the month, and her scheduling didn’t match up. After I pointed it out, she changed the date.
Such elements are red flags. Just proves a growing company reaches a point when things actually get a bit out of control. It could be that it grew too fast or the process is disconsidered.

It was an efficient well executed interview process. They communicated well with me and gave me realistic timelines that they stuck too. They also referred me to another position that I'd be more suited for.

Interview
The interview process at Boomi started off well—recruiter communication was prompt and clear, and I was genuinely excited about the opportunity. However, my experience during the first round technical interview with the hiring manager left me disappointed.
While I understand technical interviews can be challenging, I didn’t expect the abrupt shift in tone once I wasn’t sure about the answer to a particular question. The interviewer began to appear visibly impatient and disengaged, which made it difficult to regain confidence during the rest of the session.
Additionally, the coding platform provided for the interview was unstable. I had to spend unnecessary time configuring the environment, which further disrupted the flow and added avoidable stress to an already high-pressure situation.
