Orange Software Engineer interview: long coding and salary discussions

The process made me feel that time and professionalism were not handled well. One interview was extremely long, combining live coding with a prolonged discussion afterward and running late into the evening, while people were still working around me. I passed the technical parts, but the overall atmosphere never became comfortable.

At another time, the process felt equally shaky because I was promised a quick response after certain steps and then was basically ghosted. Delayed or missing feedback made it hard to believe the process was being treated seriously. There was also an availability issue for an onsite day: they seemed to want more days than I could do, and my salary expectation was above what they could accommodate. HR was neither friendly nor punctual while I was on site. Separately, salary talks stalled because they would not share their budget range, even after I adjusted my expectations.

By the end, the outcome was clearly not what I wanted. Even when interviews technically go fine, poor scheduling, inconsistent follow-up, and opaque compensation handling can spoil the whole experience.

Location: Bukarest,. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: got offer.
