Colloquio
I recently applied for a Frontend Engineer position at Fetch online and was contacted by a recruiter soon after, who assigned me a take-home coding exercise. The email mentioned it should take around 3 hours to complete, but that seemed a bit unrealistic for a full front-end application with API calls. It ended up taking me about 4-5 hours, during which I ensured I met all the requirements and even went the extra mile by enhancing the UI/UX and adding additional features. I submitted the project on the same day, but a couple of days later, I received a standard rejection email with no feedback. It was disappointing, especially after investing so much time and effort, and I would have appreciated some insight on what I could have done better for future opportunities. Moving forward, I’ve decided not to do any coding exercises unless I've had at least a phone or video conversation with a recruiter or hiring manager beforehand.

Develop a React application for a coding exercise that involved fetching and displaying a list of dogs with features like breed filtering, customizable sorting, pagination, and the ability to favorite dogs, while integrating API calls to generate a match based on user-selected favorites.

Colloquio
During the interview, I introduced myself and shared my past experiences. I discussed my take-home assessment, answered coding and work-style questions, and engaged in a conversation to learn more about the company and its culture.
As others have mentioned I received an automated take home assessment before speaking to anyone, any mention of salary expectations, which team the position would be joining, etc. Despite the giant "red flag" I took the time to build a fully deployed site meeting all the "requirements" and using the tech stack mentioned in the job requisition. After submitting the challenge I received an automated rejection email stating "Unfortunately, for compliance reasons we are unable to share specific feedback at this time" along with some other email template nonsense. I really don't appreciate these types of business practices. If you have the audacity to ask this many people to invest a significant amount of time on your interview without ever revealing the smallest amount details about your company or the role the least you could offer is some feedback. Feels like the worst of the modern day job market problems all bundled into one company. I would steer away from this one as there are many great companies out there with great people trying to do things the right way, IMHO

-Was sent me a take-home coding assignment that was described as 'a few hours' of work. However, the actual requirements included building multiple pages with API integration, plus hosting the application. To deliver professional-quality work and show best practices, this would realistically take 10+ hours to complete.
-Despite the recruiter stating a 24-48 hour review timeline, I never received any response to my submission. My follow-up emails also went unanswered.
-Extreme lack of communication
