Colloquio
Automated take home assignment from their recruiter to create an application using their dummy API's. I followed up with their recruiter regarding some questions about the take home to which they didn't bother to respond until I gave them an ultimatum where if they expect me to submit something they should at the very least respond to any questions that may come with the requirement of the handoff. Needless to say the recruiter got back right after that which is several days after the initial email I sent out, this was a huge red flag but I went with it anyways. It says you should be able to finish and submit it with a few hours (in their heads probably 2-3) but if you want to stand out and use clean coding standards with documentation it will take you way longer. I took the time to add excellent UI/UX with theming as well and good documentation, only to be met with an automated email a week later with generic BS and absolutely 0 feedback. Even though they mention they will get back to you within 24-48 hours, don't be fooled they just want to waste peoples time. IMHO steer clear of this company as they do not value the time candidates put in to their work, after reading the reviews about others experiences I regret not reading it sooner so I wouldn't have wasted my time on their take home.

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
