After applying, I received an automatic email with a link to a coding exercise. It was a simple Rails app with a bunch of tests that had to be fixed. It wasn't difficult, certainly, but it was time-consuming; it took me almost 5 hours to complete.

Then, a quick call from the recruiter followed by a quick call with the hiring manager. These were more like introduction/general question calls than interviews.

After that first round, the process continued with:

a) A technical discussion related to the coding exercise. b) A leadership interview.

After this round, which I felt went fine, I received an automatic rejection email with no comments.

Describe some compromises you had to make when working on our coding exercise.
