Initial screening was an interesting start...a chat with a “dev” who actually just recently switched into the role. Didn’t think much of it at first. They want TDD, which is fine, pretty standard.
The competency-based interview was… underwhelming. They asked basic questions, but when I asked about growth opportunities, it was clear there were basically none. Upskilling? You’re on your own. They mentioned a 1k training budget, but only for very specific business needs not your personal growth. Most answers to my questions were just “depends…” which honestly made me assume I had already failed.
Red flag: most people I interviewed with were constantly switching roles within the company. Makes you wonder about stability and culture.
Overall… meh. If you’re looking for growth or mentorship, you’ll probably have to look elsewhere.
