On site interview went really well, had a great team match after a couple of weeks, then HC rejected me, I know my first interview went a little slow, but apart from that I don't know what else I could have done better. I feel sad.
Damn that's brutal.
Feels brutal
How come is team matching happening BEFORE the HC stage??
No idea, it was just like that
Weirdissimo!
Team match before HC result??
Yes
This is common now. Most candidates I interviewed over the last couple of months had a pre-matched team.
This is for SE role?
SWE yes
Was it all LC hard? Try again dude. They will reach out in 6 months. Happened to my friend who got rejected but recruiter said he was very close. Got called in 6 months.
I guess since so many people apply, they can choose just the very best
I don't get it.. so you passed the onsite interviews otherwise they would not move you to the next step (HC). That said, if you had a 'hire' from the onsites feedback, why would the HC reject? What's the HC criteria to reject candidates that passed the onsite?
That was also my question, but there wasn't any specific feedback :(
You team match first now before HC. He probably failed onsite.
No pain no gain. Keep digging and you will eventually get there.
I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me.
did you have a referral?
Just prepare better and re-apple-y
Will do, just wish they gave feedback so I could focus on that
@designate Do ask for feedback if haven't gone yet. May want to contact the interviewers directly
