The process soured quickly. I went through complex rounds and was rejected for a mid-level role. To me, the expectations did not match what had been communicated: they seemed to want more experience while offering less pay.

The interviewer interactions felt rude and unfriendly, which made it hard to stay motivated. I left upset, with the sense that the company was not acting in good faith about fit and compensation. It felt careless and unkind, not merely a rejection.

Location: Berlin. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
