Process
Applied online. The recruiter reached out with a coding project that I had 5 hours to complete. It was a basic API implementation project. I completed it, felt that I did a great job, and it passed all test cases. I submitted it.
The recruiter ghosted me for about two weeks, so I decided to follow up. A couple of days later, I received a rejection email. There was no rhyme or reason provided.
