Process
The first round with the hiring manager was fine; nothing unusual. I was then given a take-home assignment.
Supposedly, it takes only 2-4 hours, but they wanted unit testing, clear documentation, and a write-up of design decisions. I spent half of my weekend day working on this project, only to receive a canned, generic rejection with no feedback.
Complete disrespect of a candidate's time. Avoid.
