      Full Stack Engineer Interview

      4 Dec 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ophelos (London, England) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      I was contacted by their internal recruiter via Otta. In the introductory video call, the recruiter chose not to turn their camera on, which was very unprofessional. Their comments went very quickly from "We're looking for Junior/Mid-level Ruby on Rails Engineers" to "Sorry, we know that you are a Mid-Senior level Ruby on Rails Engineer, but we're looking for someone a bit more senior, someone who already has experience with migrating companies into an international market". Yet nearly 2 months later, they are still openly trying to recruit junior/mid-level engineers. They clearly rejected me because I mentioned that my life had been tough when one of my parents had a life-changing, near-fatal medical emergency 6 months before. Overall, it was extremely unprofessional from their internal recruiter, and a very strange decision to filter someone out with strong credentials, strong experience, and who you've reached out to directly, without a proper interview or technical test or meeting anyone from the actual team or company. It is also worth noting that the Ruby on Rails market is incredibly strong for employers at the moment, so they should have been able to hire Junior/Mid-level engineers very quickly (within a week or two), so the fact that they haven't managed this in nearly 2 months is very telling.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why are you looking for a new job? What previous experience do you have? Have you ever migrated a company into an international market before? Have you ever worked for a company that is going through an acquisition before?
