I applied to Asana as soon as the process opened. Then I got a CodeSignal take home with 4 coding challenges. I solved 3 out of the 4 questions. Usually people that solves 1/4-2/4 gets to the next step. So I was excited about it. A week later I sent a follow up to the recruiter and she said she’d get back to me by the end of the week. Over a month later she sent me an e-mail saying that the role was filled and the process was closed. I asked her for a feedback since I did very well on my take home, I wanted to understand why I didn’t move forward. She said that it was more because of the volume of applications than my performance. So is this process a lottery? If the company can’t deal with that amount of applications why on earth they don’t close the application process before? Is it to show off how many people want to work for the company?
I hope a recruiter don’t bother to answer my review with “I’m sorry you had a bad experience, we’re working hard to make it better.” , since they didn’t bother to see my application and the results of my take home challenge. The most disrespectful process I’ve been through.
