The interview went reasonably well, although the meeting was originally scheduled with the HR Director, who ultimately did not attend. I was only interviewed by the recruiter. Unfortunately, I did not receive any constructive feedback regarding why I was not selected to proceed further in the process.

Later, I learned that the role was actually intended for a more junior profile with a lower salary expectation, which perhaps explains the outcome. I also noticed a certain pattern in the department's composition — the HR team appeared to be exclusively female — which raised some concerns about potential bias in hiring practices.

The follow-up communication was also rather impersonal. I received a generic email starting with "Dear candidates," which made the process feel careless and impersonal, almost as though I was simply cc’ed in a group rejection.

To be honest, I’m still unsure why they invited me for an interview in the first place. From what I observed, the organizational culture seemed quite incompatible with my professional values — overly traditional, heavily micromanaged, and driven by internal politics, with little room for innovation or forward thinking.

Basic questions, not hard to answer. I would say, it was a typical interview with expected questions. nothing innovative. not sure if they really know what they need to discover when having interview.
