I made it to the third round, a coding interview, and things had been going well until then. The recruiter and hiring manager seemed genuinely interested and were open about the role. The direction felt clear early on, and their communication seemed transparent.
The coding interview went off track. The interviewer arrived 25 minutes late, and the questions didn't seem well planned. When I asked for clarification about what they wanted, the explanations made things more confusing instead of helping.
I didn't move forward after that. My honest takeaway was that the earlier rounds felt respectful and well intentioned, while the coding session felt unstructured. That inconsistency played a big role in how the interview went.
Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
