The interview process was chaotic. The application could be reviewed for weeks, and then they would call at a random time without warning.
The proposed compensation was at the very bottom of the market and likely did not match the level of the offered position. This was compounded by a UoP-type contract with high taxation and a hybrid schedule of three days per week.
The technical interview was also scheduled chaotically at a random moment. I received a call at 9 a.m. and was informed that the interview was at 12 p.m. because the interviewer was going on vacation and "there's no other time."
Three people attended the interview. It consisted of several questions regarding the programming language, then predicting the output of given code snippets. Afterward, I was presented with a piece of code approximately 100 lines long and asked to find errors. Finally, I was asked to perform actions with a linked list. The entire process took about two hours.
There were also issues with MS Teams, specifically the inability to share my screen through the web version. I was not shown how to resolve this, or it was disabled by the company's settings.
In the end, I was rejected even though the questions were simple, I solved everything, and I had even agreed to the unfavorable contract terms. I did not receive any details about the reason for rejection, just a template response suggesting I contact the recruiter if I had questions. I reached out to the recruiter but did not receive a response.
