I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Adjust (Berlin) in Jul 2023
Interview
I went through the first interview. They wanted to carry on with the next step (Take Home Task) which had to be done in 3 business days.
Although position title 's DBA, task was not a DBA task. It was rather a developer task. I assumed they are looking to see the algorithms, I worked on the tasked.
According to task definitions (method and language was set free)I completed everything. However my solution is not accepted.
2 issues;
1- Inadequate process stole my time in the middle of the week ( I should add, 1 hour before the first meeting they e-mailed me to delay the meeting for 30 minutes. How professional) Even though I informed them I am not a developer, they were seeking for a developer with DBA title.
2- Job description, was not consistent with the title. Caring nothing about DBA skills, you can't hire DBA.
To sum up, I was not expecting an offer. I was expecting not to be a candidate at the first place considering I already stated why they should not evaluate me for a position, obviously I am not fit for.
