Firefly (this is Aleas new name) blatantly wasted my time by reaching out to me in the first place for a role that, by their own admission, I apparently never met the requirements for.
The process was two short calls, one with a recruiter (who reached out to me in the first place) and one with an engineer, to go over my past experience.
Followed by a short take home assignment and then an onsite interview with two engineers.
I told the recruiter and the engineer over the phone all about my experience in the industry, and they both deemed that I was experienced enough to be brought in for an interview. The day after the onsite interview, they tell me that they can't hire me because I am not senior enough. The company is confused about what they're actually looking for, save your time and ignore their calls.
