I had a screening call with a recruiter which seemed fine, it looked like they were looking for someone with my experience and she moved me onto the next round. But when that next round with the actual team lead began it seemed like I was interviewing for a different job. Suddenly the skills the recruiter said would not be a priority were super important to have, and I was rejected for not having skills that were never on my resume to begin with. This company needs to do a better job communicating with their recruiters about the job expectations because they basically wasted their own time and mine by reaching out to me.

Made me do a "code assessment" before even considering a interview. I wasted 30 minutes doing it. I got the answers correctly, however, they went silent after. No call back, no emails, no nothing. Not even a rejection email. If I wasted 30 minutes doing an assessment correctly, I at least need to know the reason.
