HR found me on LinkedIn and emailed me twice to schedule an interview. After I accepted their request, they planned a HR interview, which was very nice and quite normal.

They mentioned there would be a homework task to be sent in within a week. So, they sent me an email with the requirements. The task was not overly difficult but involved building a feature that needed to be a standalone, production-ready project.

The assignment requirements were not very clear, and the API they provided was a bit tricky, sometimes sending corrupted data. I found the homework to be time-wasting, taking me about 25 hours.

In the end, it turned out I couldn't figure out some of their "tricks." They gave me feedback with bugs. If only I had spent my time solving puzzles. This was not an interview; it was something a little absurd.
