Mobile Developer Interview Experience

Process

From the Yahoo Sports team:

The recruiter directly calls my number instead of emailing every time I am in the office. How am I supposed to answer phones when coworkers are around me? Yet, they do it every time.

After I passed the phone interview, I received a take-home task to build an app.

Don't waste time on their take-home project. I spent hours finishing their app, completing all features and even several bonus features. I also wrote documentation. They said they would give me feedback within one week, but they actually didn't.

The following week, the recruiter called me, as usual, to say they would not move forward with me. I asked whether they could tell me which part of my code didn't meet their standards, stating it would be appreciated even if they only used two words to describe my code or documentation. The recruiter never replied.

Their behavior makes me look down upon the Yahoo Sports team.
