Technical Coding
Had a phone interview with technical staff to discuss background and experience, then a coding interview. Was given 72 hours to complete 2 problems/tasks. The job was submitted in mid-Oct 2020, and by Jan 27th 2021 (3 months later), the coding review still wasn't done. The headhunter mentioned they sent out tons of coding tasks to many people and were still sending them out. It felt like they weren't serious about hiring, with no updates even after multiple follow-ups. I wouldn't recommend taking the coding task. If your time is valuable, save it for other companies.

Technical Coding
The recruiter was pretty pushy, asking a lot of questions and really drilling down into my role, duties, and especially my current salary. They wouldn't proceed without that info. Then there was a take-home assignment. They sent over some pretty large, unlabelled imaging data and the task was to build a model to predict something from these pictures. No other help was given, I had to use my own computer. It took me a whole day to train my ML model on the images, and then the whole weekend to finish the project. After I sent it back, they totally ghosted me – no replies to emails or calls, no feedback at all. It felt super shady, almost like they were trying to get free work out of applicants.
