I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

There were three stages: 1. Initial call with HR to discuss the role and background. 2. Technical interview with the hiring manager focused on past experience, challenges, and problem-solving. 3. Take-home assignment with a 2-week deadline. Unfortunately, I received no response for nearly 3 weeks after submission. Only after a follow-up email did I get a vague rejection with no feedback. It’s disappointing to invest significant time and effort and not even receive constructive input in return.

What trade-offs have you had to make during development?
