Software Engineer interview at Sonata Software: interview experience

The process started with a recruiter-managed Risebird setup, but the early technical discussion did not seem connected to the actual project. Both rounds were led by people who did not appear closely tied to the client or role details. The second repeated the same pattern, and the interviewer did not seem to know what had already been discussed.

Communication became the larger problem. I made multiple follow-ups but received neither feedback nor a clear explanation. The lack of transparency made me question whether there was a real hiring need behind the interviews.

I did receive positive signals at points, then waited for months before a formal rejection. By then, the lack of ownership and follow-through had made the process much more draining than the interview difficulty.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
