Colloquio
There was an intro call with someone in human resources and then a technical interview was scheduled. The technical interview is 2.5 hours and consists of some intro time, then 1.5 hours of coding, and then a review of your code.
I was iffy when I heard there was no matching 401k. But I went ahead. I learned during the technical interview that PestRoutes operates with no framework, no CI/CD pipelines, and no tests in place. I didn't wait to hear back from them. I emailed them shortly after and thanked them for their time, but let them know I was not interested.
I've seen enough home-brewed architecture to know I don't want that again. Couple that with no CI/CD or tests is a hard no. It could be a great place to work. I have no idea of course and just having those things doesn't make everything perfect. But I'll take my chances elsewhere.
A note if PestRoutes reads this. I think code exercises can be a valuable way to weed out candidates that don't fit your technical criteria. I personally don't find the pressure of doing X in Y time conducive. It's not how most developers code and therefore is not a natural assessment. If it's working for you then certainly keep it. I would go a different route.

Colloquio
The recruiter was unprofessional and had attitude. I was told we would have a phone screen. One hour before the designed time, I was told that the position was on hold and I now was given a couple of sample tests to gauge my basic comprehension of some of the technologies that would be used in the position. It took a couple days total to do them both.
Afterwards, I was invited to a face-to-face interview at the company, but I lived far away from Texas and didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a plane ticket where I could get rejected anyway. I asked if we could do a Skype interview instead, to which she responded they could have one the following week and asked me for my availability.
And that was it. I tried reaching out to her after, to which I had no response. There was an undertone in her communication where it was unreasonable for me to ask for a virtual face-to-face interview. They need to treat their candidates like people and understand that somethings aren't feasible for everyone.

They asked me to do a simple 30 minute test online. It was easy.
