Process
Don't waste your time.
First, they give you an IQ test. If you pass it, you also get a task in your preferred programming language.
What I got as feedback for being rejected:
-
'Code formatting and spaces is bad' - (You are forced to use a web interface which does not format the code). Additionally, it's 2019, and usually, code is formatted automatically.
-
'Two of the solutions were copied and modified from Google' - You are not notified that you should not use Google and reinvent the wheel, and tasks are pretty basic, so chances are you will end up 'copying the solution'.
