They just send this link to a Backend Engineer using GO programming assignment. Even though this position was for a Python engineer, they made me do the assignment in GOLANG. I did not complain, solved the problem as described in the question here.
A week later 😄 with no justifications or nothing they say my solution is not correct. Such a joke the engineers they have. I answer the question for free and all I got was a nonsense rejection. 😭 Terrible experience, very terrible hiring practices. I bet they are not even hiring, they probably just want to waste Engineers time.

There is an assignment to calculate the Sum of Squares. From Stdin, accept N as the number of test case arrays to calculate the Sum of Squares, and N consecutive lines, enter array_1...till array_n, separated by lines. And calculate the Sum of Squares of each of the arrays. Some rules include:
- Use only standard libraries
- Do not use for loop
- Use package main
- Print all results after the input has been inserted. i.e.
Input:
N
arr_1
...
arr_n
Output:
sum_of_squares_arr_1
...
sum_of_squares_arr_n
- There should be no empty lines between input and output
- There are some other rules but negligible

The process begins with a code test, followed by interviews for those who pass. I didn’t make it past the code test phase. I was confident in my solution, which I verified using hypothesis testing, and it appeared to work correctly.
However, I received a generic email stating that I didn’t get enough points to proceed. That was disappointing, especially since there was no feedback on what went wrong. If the issue was related to code style, it feels somewhat arbitrary. Alternatively, it might be a canned response that doesn’t reflect the actual reason.
This was my second time applying, six months after my first attempt, and both times I received the same vague rejection email. It left me with no real insight into how I could improve or what criteria were being prioritized.

The code test was semi-complex data structure transformation task.
