Process
This was one of the worst interview processes I've ever experienced. It started with a call with the hiring manager using the Cisco platform. There were technical issues, and I had to turn the volume up to the maximum just to hear the interviewer. After that, I was given a take-home assignment that was supposed to be completed within a week. This was already unreasonable considering my extensive experience and my GitHub profile, which has numerous projects and contributions to open-source.
My mistake was accepting this test assignment. The task wasn't difficult; it involved implementing an algorithm from algebra. I completed it and sent it back, only to receive a rejection without any feedback. I find this extremely unfair—I invested a lot of time in the company, and they couldn't even spare 10 minutes to provide feedback.
