Initially, I had a recruiter phone call, which featured standard job fit questions.

I was then sent an Online Assessment, which I completed and scored 100% on. The recruiter reached out and confirmed I would be progressing to the next round, advising me to await next steps.

However, I was then ghosted for two months. Finally, after multiple follow-up emails on my side, I received a message from the recruiter to schedule my interview. No confirmation was sent for another month.

By the time I finally got to be interviewed, the interviewer was nice enough. Yet, it felt more like a pop quiz on CS trivia rather than an assessment aimed to test my problem-solving and technical skills.
