Quite a bizarre experience.
The interviewer was outside and in a noisy environment and clearly unprepared because got all the information wrong about me, including the position I applied for.
A local power cut was mentioned as a reason, but that doesn't explain the noisy environment nor the mixup. Ended up rescheduling for another time.
The second time was better, just a general chat about the company from their side and me and my experience from my side.
In the end, the interviewer promised to get back soon with a feedback. However, went completely silent and didn't respond to the follow up email.
A great company culture doesn't stop on employees, it extends to everyone, including customers, candidates, and whoever else engages with the company. And judging by the other reviews on here - Smartcat prefers to ghost their candidates.
Thank you for sharing your experience interviewing with Smartcat. We take all candidate feedback seriously and strive to provide a positive interview process for everyone.
