Scheduling began normally, but the first live HR conversation felt wrong. The interviewer seemed disengaged with my answers, and I felt I was not being taken seriously. Without an explanation, it seemed as if they might already have someone else in mind, though that was only my impression.
The communication problems continued. I was told I would hear about feedback or next steps, but I did not, and a follow-up received no response. In a separate interview dynamic, a compensation-range discussion became tense. The recruiter treated the question as inappropriate, and the exchange became adversarial.
The hardest part was not the rejection itself. It was feeling ignored and dismissed when a clear response mattered.
Location: Germany. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
