Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
Applied online.
Received an email from the recruiter containing a link to the online assessment.
I completed it with an optimized approach, and all test cases passed. However, I still received a rejection.
Why waste a candidate's time when you have already decided to reject them based on their CV or other factors?
