A week after applying a recruiter messaged me to schedule a screening. After this round I waited for two weeks and then the recruiter asked me to do a panel with several managers. One of the panelists was nice and seemed to know their stuff while the other seemed like they were waiting for retirement, very stuck in their ways and very waterfall in their approach. This other manager also made a critical comment suggesting I was a job hopper because I had one prior role on my resume that I left before the two year mark, even though I had other roles that I stayed at for several years. A few days after this panel I was asked to do another panel with some architects. Their questions weren't particularly hard though it seemed like the technologies used in Inmar are dated and the expectations these panelists had for the role were very different from those expressed by the panelists in the prior round. Later in the week the recruiter asked me to do a round with the head of engineering and made it seem like this was merely a final step before getting an offer. The engineering head round was similar to the round with the tech leads, including more discrepancies in the expectations for the job and more dated technologies. Two weeks after this round I got a rejection email stating they went with another candidate.
