Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
It was a pretty straightforward 4 to 5-step process:
- Recruiter screen
- Hiring manager interview
- Take-home project and review
- One more behavioral or some kind of non-technical discussion
Everyone I communicated with was great, especially the recruiters. Unfortunately, I was rejected after the take-home project review. My solution was good and correct, but not "perfect," as it is pretty open-ended, and the interviewer pointed out areas to optimise. I was able to optimise and answer any other questions to their satisfaction, but I still got rejected and, worse, received no feedback. I think they are being unreasonably picky. It definitely feels like a missed opportunity.
Questions
There was a deliberately poorly coded take-home project with multiple ways to improve. You had to pick 2.
