Process
I completed a coding challenge, which wasn't too hard. Afterward, a recruiter called me to discuss which teams I was interested in interviewing with. The recruiter said I'd hear from them in two weeks, but I literally never heard from them again. It's been two months!
Questions
The coding exam had a word search question (only vertical and horizontal). There was also a checkerboard question.

- 1.0Absolutely dreadful, unprofessional team/org. Your mileage may vary with other orgsSoftware Engineering Technical Leader • Current EmployeeRemoteDecember 12, 2022Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc. The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.
