Process
I didn't even pass the initial technical test, because they used one of those generic online, algorithm-based platforms.
The problem was that there were "secret" tests that the algorithm wasn't passing, and it wasn't allowed to know why. But I had to fix it somehow.
This made no sense at all. It was like you had to assemble a puzzle, but the other person hid one of the pieces somewhere in the entire city and told you: "Huh, just find it."
"Oops, you messed up the dance choreography..." "Oh really? What did I mess up? Tell me so I can adjust and do it right!" "I saw it and I know exactly what went wrong. But I'm not going to tell you, you figure out how to do it right."
