Process

Phone interviews with both recruiting and a Software Engineering Manager went really well, though took a very long time to arrange. I was given a coding challenge that I did and felt really good about. Though, there was a bug in the test suite they provided.

I patched it and wanted clarification to see if this was OK, but ended up submitting it anyway. Waited 2 weeks to hear back that they're not hiring for the role anymore (wasn't aware of a specific role I was being considered for). The disregard for my time is very off-putting.
