Process
HackerRank. Finished 30 minutes early, passed all public and hidden test cases. Still rejected.
This left a bad taste in my mouth. I am no longer interested in working at this company. Thankfully, I have other offers.
I hope management, university recruiting, and HR see this and reconsider how they hire. You are permanently driving candidates away, and they are telling others about their experiences. It's a shame because I thought highly of the company previously.
