Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

My time was totally disrespected.

First, there was a screen with a tech sourcer who became very resistant to sending the take-home test after finding out I have other interviews scheduled.

After I followed up a week later, they assigned me to a coordinator who sent me a backend take-home test for a frontend role.

After I pointed this out, it took another week for them to send the correct test. They gave me an extra day to “make up” for their mistakes.

I completed the test right away. They said to allow four days, and it has been more than two weeks; they have completely ghosted me.

Questions

Review a PR with pretty bad code, as it's apparently what the job entails.
