I was asked to complete two timed tests with a mix of HR-type questions and logic problems. After that, I did two interviews. They were clearly interested in gauging a candidate's propensity to self-sacrifice: working extra hours, working weekends, or going the extra mile and delivering more than what was required. I stated quite clearly that while I take my job seriously, I would never give it priority over the important things in life (e.g. family), and I guess that's part of the reason they did not take me - I say "I guess" because my technical skills were never tested, and because I never received any specific feedback, in spite of the long hours I put into those tests and those interviews. And that leads me to the last point: while I understand that every company has the right to choose according to their own selection process and criteria, it would be far more reasonable to have a quick HR interview to check for compatibility, before asking candidates to invest 6 hours of their time doing long and laborious tests. Over the years I have interviewed for dozens of positions at places ranging from unknown startups to tech giants with yearly revenue measured in tens of billions, but I have never found a company where the hiring process was so disrespectful of a candidate's time and effort. One positive note is that all the people I interacted with were polite and friendly - it is unfortunate that the process itself was not as good.

The team communicates really well about the progress and next steps, and gives a lot of flexibility. It can be difficult or long for some, but worth the effort and trying.
