This was a standard screener call after applying online.

They use a company called Filtered that records your screen and camera during a "take home" assessment. It then took 2.5 weeks to "review" the Filtered assessment, which was to write a proxy. The instructions seemed intentionally super ambiguous.

The next round was to review the Filtered submission. Their only question was, "How would you get this submission ready for production?"

There were no follow-up questions, and we moved on to the design portion of the interview. The question was, "Design a smart light system."

The interviewers were not engaged in the interview process, did not provide any guidance or input on what they'd like to see, and were generally disinterested throughout the process. It was clear that neither of the interviewers in that last interview had reviewed my Filtered submission prior to our interview.

Design a smart light system.
