Process
Another Codility/HackerRank test.
In my career, I already passed technical interviews from Amazon, Splunk, Okta, ... and have failed this stupid test.
On my side, this is the last time I accept doing automated technical tests.
Companies that don't think it is necessary to invest time to filter candidates should be avoided. Please boycott Circle !
