I applied to the Signavio team, and the experience was not great. Obnoxious, I'd say.

There was a HackerRank round followed by a tedious coding exercise. My solution was rejected for the lamest of reasons.

Whoever assessed my solution had zero understanding of how to curate a proper coding challenge, nor how to write a proper README outlining what the expected solution should look like.

But then I realized it's impossible to please idiots and moved on.

To the recruiter: Be clearer in your discourse. And don't be in a hurry to reject someone.

The candidate should be presented with the best opportunity to succeed, not to fail!

HackerRank (LeetCode medium difficulty)

A coding challenge comprising Docker, Kubernetes, scripting, etc.
