Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Poor experience. Make a complete project. Time is insufficient. This is too much for a startup whose product isn't even guaranteed to stay. I don't know how they plan on making money. What's the point of such a crazy online assessment? Not even Google takes such tests.
