Interview
Applied online, got an email back to schedule an interview with the recruiter and a technical test.
The technical test was very basic C# questions about 15 questions. Mostly just C# syntax checking, and 1 basic programming question ("Finding the balance point in an array").
After that, had about 30-40 min call with the recruiter - just the normal questions of expected salary, current situation, notice period etc. And few questions like what was the most difficult task you had to do - and how did you do it.
The following week had a "technical" interview with 2 senior team leads from the company.
Not the best interview I had, the interviewers were great and friendly. But they have a list of very basic questions (which I think they ask all candidates) - depending on the candidate they ask a set of backend, frontend questions. and score based on your answers.
The next day got an email back from recruiter saying "the team did not feel your technical depth and breadth of experience was sufficient enough for this role" - which was kind of disappointing as neither the technical test or interview covered any of my previous experience.
For someone who has developed a complex product supported by 4 windows services (which I was the sole developer on) and also at the same time leading a team of 4 junior developers to implement a web portal - it was dissapointing as none of my experience was actually covered in the interview but an assumption was made that my " experience was not sufficient enough for this role".

Interview
After applying on their website, a recruiter reached out for a phone screening. A week later I interviewed with a hiring manager going over my resume and work history. He moved me on to a mock interview with him and a senior manager. At the end of the interview they told me I did great and would move me on to interview with an outbound manager and scheduled it on the spot. I reach out to the recruiter to confirm some information a few days before the interview to be told it needed to be rescheduled and that he would get back to me by a certain day. The time passes so I reach out for insight on the interview and tells me they're still looking for a good time for this week. Two days later I receive an automated rejection email. I reach out to the recruiter and both managers I interviewed with to thank them for their time and feedback and got no responses.
