Colloquio
Worst experience ever. Took a week to get the link to an assessment involving building of an API. In a traditional interview, someone gives you a problem to solve or an API that needs to be designed and you come up with the solution. The other person is right there so you can immediately ask questions to clarify what they are looking for.
Not here lmao. You are given a very vague set of requirements and if you simply create what was asked, you are dq'd. I added tests, wrote a good PR message, added documentation. But guess what? I missed a requirement. In the midst of 3 hours of coding the solution and tweaking I missed 1 feature. That was enough to insta-DQ me. I never spoke to anyone. Not HR, not a technical person. I was never asked any questions like why did I miss the feature or how would I implement it if I had the time, there is no one there to clarify anything, just an anonymous automated message to tell you did not pass.
Quite an asinine way to waste 3 hours of my life.
Tips for anyone doing the first assessment - make sure your storage handles de-duping data (in my case I forgot this, but would have been a 1 line change so dont mess it up). Also it says it should take 2 hours, that is a lie. Go ham with the 5 hours they give you. Finally, if at any time you feel like the process is BS, go do something else. Github isn't the only company out there.

First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
