I applied through a recruiter.

Pros: A straightforward process.

Cons: The tester does not understand Gradle with Java. My solution had Gradle dependencies, which are required to run the Java project, and there was no restraint on technologies used. They request CSV inputs to the program, requiring dependencies for CSV beans to process the input of a CSV file. Even with the recommendation of running the program on Docker, they did not come back to me to state any issues. They simply could not test the program, and left it there. That says a lot about their technical solutions from that perspective. I always had to ask for updates on the process, wasting my time. To anyone doing a Java technical, I highly recommend spending your minimal efforts, as that's what you'll get back.
