Discourteous, sloppy, and an incredible waste of time and effort best describes the interview process I experienced with Toast.

I applied online and booked an interview with a recruiter who rescheduled on me shortly before the agreed-upon time. The reason given was simply that they were "running out of the office for the day."

After rescheduling and completing the phone screen, the recruiter had me complete a coding assignment with a 72-hour time limit, assigned to me mid-week. I took the time to complete this assignment after working my 8-hour days at my current job, staying up until around midnight each night to meet the requirements and extras. I submitted before the deadline and didn't receive any correspondence from the recruiter for days afterward.

After probing for a response multiple times, I was told that next steps were being discussed and I'd hear back by the end of the day. I didn't hear back by the end of the day, or for the next 5 days.

The next response I received from the recruiter was that "the position had been filled."

I did not even receive as much as a code review after spending my time and energy completing the assignment that was requested of me. I was left hanging out to dry, only to find that my efforts had been wasted.

Can we reschedule?
