1. The interview process was poorly aligned with the job description.
2. Despite completing a full system design task (notification system) and solving a DSA problem with both optimal and brute-force solutions, I was rejected with no valid justification.
3. The company seems to expect top-tier competitive programmers (like Codeforces legends) while offering compensation and stability of a typical early-stage startup.
4. Unrealistic standards for candidates, with no consideration for actual product-building experience or practical problem-solving.
