1 hour with HR. 1.5 hours technical interview with technical lead.
The feedback borders on condescending. The critique lacks nuance, it doesn’t consider that I might have been trying to explain a complex concept briefly or had constraints during the interview.
A lot of time and energy during the interview and in the feedback on one area (locking). For a 1.5-hour interview, this seems narrow.
There’s no indication of what went well, which makes the feedback imbalanced. Feedback seemed rushed, contains typos and feels dismissive given the effort I put in.
I applied online. I interviewed at Covantis in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview process is long and complex and contains of 4 stages: an interview with a recruiter, an interview with a person from the same position, an interview with a hiring manager and with a head of commercial. The 3rd stage is a long presentation for one hour which requieres a lot of preparation and I believe Covantis is not supposed to ask for it as it is just an unknown startup not Big 4 company. After this round the company was ghosting me for 2 weeks and I sent 3 emails to finally get a response. No personal feedback was given. Very unprofessional!
