I had a disappointing experience with the interview process. After several rounds and receiving positive feedback from the team, I was told I would be moving to the next stage in an email. However, I was later informed that they had decided to go with another candidate—without giving me the chance to proceed as previously communicated.
The sudden change, without explanation or proper follow-up, reflected a lack of transparency and professionalism. It left me questioning how the company values not only candidates but potentially employees as well. The process, while initially encouraging, ultimately did not align with the standards of respectful and honest communication I would expect from an employer.
Online, but I think they will have face to face interviews after you did online interviews but good luck everyone, here is the real interview questions that I get, actually I took two online interviews all of them are the same.

I applied and had to complete a pymetrics test and video interview 5 days after I applied and the whole process was not difficult just too long. The video interview had 3 questions but they were long and they had more than 1 question marks.
