Process
Phone screen. Take-home problem. The REST API description was poorly worded, and the repo from HackerRank did not have clear instructions. The recruiter said it had automated testing, but it did not after I opened the project. I spent an hour creating the API and was notified that I failed it by the recruiter the day after. Waste of time.
