Initial contact was made by a recruiter through LinkedIn.

This was followed by a phone call with the manager to whom I would be reporting.

A developer take-home challenge was assigned. This required coding a page as close as possible to a provided comp within a one-and-a-half-hour timeframe.

The process culminated in a six-hour interview. It began with a 45-minute presentation about myself and two projects, highlighting my capabilities and their relevance to the position. Following this, I met individually with 4-5 people, answering HR-type questions and describing myself and my skillset.

I was scheduled to meet with one other team member who was on PTO. However, before that meeting could take place, the recruiter informed me they would be pursuing other candidates.

I received no negative feedback and was left feeling confused. I question the decision to contact a candidate, subject them to a demanding interview process, and then discontinue consideration. Perhaps the company's approach is not as humane as Glassdoor reviews suggest.

What would you do if one of your co-workers were slacking off or not pulling their own weight?
