This was literally the dumbest interview I've ever taken. It's a complete waste of time.

For some reason, they're more interested in their invisible checkbox rubric during this process than actually assessing a candidate's talent.

I had a phone screening, then a cognitive assessment, then a self-paced tech assessment, then a preparatory meeting, and then three interviews—two of which were technical.

Honestly, this was a joke. I completed every technical problem correctly, but in the end, the feedback I got was, "We wanted you to communicate more during your interview."

Mind blown. Maybe ask me questions then? Or maybe preface the interview with, "Please explain your thoughts while programming."

It seems like they're just interested in herding applicants through their dismal interview process instead of actually rewarding technical talent.
