I applied for a senior backend engineer position.
They told me to consider these points to understand why they said no:
- They are growing fast (I worked with many "growing fast" companies)
- As they work remotely, they only support GMT-4 to GMT+2 timezones (I'm in France, it's in the range)
- They want people to put a "touch" to their application (I wrote an exhaustive motivation letter)
- They don't have many junior positions since they're growing fast (I have 13 years of experience with PHP)
