Unmind interview questions

4 Stages: Initial Technical Interview with Tech Lead -> Code Test / Systems Design Interview -> Culture Interview -> ? First call with the Tech Lead was great, felt very comfortable and was able to go over prior experience. Second Stage was a react / express live coding test. Requested implementation was simple enough and I was able to step through the implementation process and talk to areas that would need revision to 'productionise' (their words) - this part had a 30 minute limit and felt very rushed. The final 10 minutes was an assortment of specific questions such as discuss 'cursor vs offset pagination', discuss 'why you would store x data in noSQL vs relational db' and otherwise just left the conversation open to me discussing what else could be done to the codebase or for cloud deployment. Ultimately I didn't make it through to the next round. Although they did provide feedback, I can understand why the role has been reposted 4 times over the last month; the feedback highlighted specific implementation questions outside of my recent experience (eg. using GraphQL) and areas that simply weren't discussed. I get the sense that they are looking for a specific engineer personality to match the individuals in the technical interview.

Applied, was contacted a week later for an introductory interview with their main, and seemingly only TA. They asked me to confirm the salary worked for me, informed me that they use AI to take notes during the interview and then we scheduled the following week for 30 minutes. She seemed disinterested in me as a candidate, the call was typical and very run of the mill. Thought there was a connection, but I was ghosted with ZERO follow up, not even the complimentary "Sorry, we're moving on with other candidates" right now email. I'm guessing it's because she is the only person sourcing for roles and is overwhelmed, but for a mental health company - imagine how I felt as a candidate who has been struggling for months to find work. Super unprofessional.
