A complete nonsense process. I actually did two of them almost in the same month: one for Tech Lead (3 stages: HR, Technical, and Leadership), and in the end they gave me a huge ghosting, zero feedback, reason, nothing.
A few days later they called me for another Staff Engineer process. The same recruiter who ghosted me and didn't answer my messages about the status of the previous process told me they simply changed the role to Senior Manager (the career ladder there is really something, lol).
Anyway, I agreed to proceed for Staff Engineer. She told me that in this case I would have to do a project (basically event-driven architecture processing events and saving to a database) and deliver it in five days. After that, there would be two more stages, which I didn't even have time to find out about, because I did the project—extremely well structured, documented, pointing out trade-offs, etc.—and once again, ghosting. No message replies, no feedback, etc.
I hope no one agrees to work in a place like this with this kind of completely unprofessional attitude.
They only ghost candidates
