I found the whole process to be very unprofessional. I was referred by my former manager to a guy who was supposed to be my team lead had I ended up working for N26. My former manager had opened a LinkedIn group chat with my potential team lead, just to make the introduction. The guy was very arrogant and declined my LinkedIn connection request, so I had to continue the whole conversation while my former boss was watching everything (I wasn't able to send him a private message because we were not connected). After a short introduction, he sent me a link to a job application and asked me to apply directly.

Next step I had an interview with HR, the interview went well and she gave me a technical task. I found the task to be quite long but also quite easy. However, as I was on a holiday, I could not complete everything. I did, however, make a lot of effort in order to send it in time. After I sent the task, HR said they will get back to me by a certain date.

As the date arrived I got no reply, the next day I sent them a message to see what's up with my application, but got no answer. Only the next day (two days later than I was promised) I got a reply saying they decided not to continue with my application because the managers tested my task and expected more, without providing any details. I asked for more detailed feedback and since then no one has contacted me.

I think they should have been more accurate with the reply time (they could've at least notified me if they couldn't make it in time). Also the least they could do is give me proper feedback considering the time and effort I invested in the task.
