Process
This was the most unprofessional interview process I've experienced.
I didn't even get to complete most of the technical assessment because we had issues getting permission to view the project. I have no idea what I was evaluated on.
The recruitment process is a mess. They use SmartRecruiters, and I had to guess the recruiter's email to ask for a follow-up.
