Technical Coding
The recruiter reached out about an opening and the hiring manager sent a coding test that was kind of vague. The recruiter mentioned the manager gave good feedback, but turns out that was a lie because they ghosted me after I submitted the assessment and ignored all my follow-ups. They didn't even check the API route I built. It's really rude to waste people's time like that, and judging by other reviews, I'm not the only one who's experienced this. I wouldn't want to work for a company that acts like this.

Coding Technical
The first part of the process was a take-home assignment that had a really vague and unclear prompt. It wasn't anything super complex, honestly, something a junior developer could handle. But it felt like the hiring manager was really looking for something super specific. They should really make their intent clear in the prompt and the dataset. It's a waste of people's time if they're just looking for someone to quickly write scripts and SQL.
