I interviewed at PageFreezer Software
Interview
The initial interviews are good. But they have a Director of Engineering round which is very hard to crack. They do not value the experience you have. The requirements they put on the Job Description and what they expect is completely different.

Interview
I applied online for "Software Engineer, Python" position at the end of December 2022. After about two weeks, I got response from HR with invitation to initial phone interview. However, two hours before scheduled call I got message that meeting was rescheduled. I had interview on a new date with generic questions about my experience, when I am ready to start and so on. At the end of the meeting interviewer promised me to return with feedback after one week. But they ghosted me. I followed up a couple of times with one-week interval but got no response. One month after initial phone interview I received message that I got rejected for "Software Engineer, Java" position, nevertheless I applied as Python developer.

Generic questions about my experience, when I am ready to start and so on
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PageFreezer Software in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process consisted of several stages designed to assess both technical and non-technical skills. It began with a phone introduction with a member of management, which focused on background, motivations, and general fit for the role. This was followed by a coding interview that evaluated problem-solving ability and programming skills. The next stage was an architecture interview, where system design and high-level technical thinking were assessed. Finally, there was a behavioral interview aimed at understanding communication style, team collaboration, and cultural fit within the organization.
Although I was able to progress through all the stages and reach the final interview, I was a bit disappointed with the overall experience since I never received any feedback or response afterward.

Question 1
They asked a mix of questions depending on the stage of the interview. For example, some focused on my background and motivations, others tested my coding and problem-solving skills. In the behavioral interview, the questions were more about teamwork, communication, and handling different work situations.
