Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I received an automated email inviting me to complete a coding challenge on CodeSignal. Subsequently, I received a copy-pasted email informing me to expect the challenge. The details in these two emails did not match, and there was no opportunity to ask questions or receive answers.

The challenge is a 70-minute test requiring both video and audio to be on before speaking with a human in a non-copy-pasted format.

It appears the job pays well, but based on reviews, it doesn't seem like it would be managed well or exist within a healthy environment. Their unwillingness to engage in conversation or extend trust on a take-home assignment corroborates these reviews.

Perhaps there's an unknown reason for their approach, but it's difficult to be enthusiastic about it, especially when compared to other companies that build relationships and demonstrate care for people from the outset.
