We had an initial discussion about the role, followed by a coding challenge that involved algorithms, documentation, deployment setup, and code structure. I spent two evenings on the challenge and submitted a working solution with well-structured code, deployment, and documentation. After a long wait for feedback, I inquired and received a rejection email the next day. It makes me wonder if they're genuinely hiring or just looking for free work, especially considering other reviews. Candidates, please don't waste your time.

Behavioral Technical

I found the job posting in a professional group and sent in my CV. HR got back to me pretty quickly with some questions about my background and what I can do. About 10 days later, they sent me a take-home assignment. It was a moderately difficult task that took me about 3-4 evenings to complete. A week after submitting that, I got an invitation for a Skype interview. It was a 30-minute call with an HR manager and two senior developers. They mainly asked general questions about why I want to switch jobs, my experience, and the projects I've worked on.

They reached out to me on LinkedIn and suggested I email them. After a few emails back and forth, we scheduled a phone call. An HR person called me at the agreed time. The conversation went well, it wasn't difficult at all, and the interviewer was really nice. After that, they asked for some documents from me. I sent them over, but after some time, they let me know they couldn't hire me in the immediate future.
