Backend Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four weeks.
- Recruiter screen
- Technical interview
- Take-home challenge
- Review of challenge interview
I never heard back after the interview where we reviewed the take-home challenge, despite the recruiter assuring me that I would always hear back. It would have been nice to at least be told that I was rejected.
