Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took one week.

I exchanged several emails and spoke with a recruiter, who sent a project to refactor. The instructions for the project were to work on it for two hours, then detail everything I didn't get to but wanted to do. When I received feedback for refactoring the project, I was told they weren't interested in continuing the process because I didn't finish, which directly contradicted the instructions I was given.
