I applied for a senior front-end developer role at Holland & Barrett and initially had a positive experience. I was asked to complete a Coderbyte technical assessment, which took around 2 hours, and I passed all the tests. After that, I had an HR screening, which also went well. Around two weeks later, I was told that the team wanted to speak with me and that the next interview would be arranged. Unfortunately, after this point, communication completely stopped. I followed up multiple times via email regarding interview availability, but I never received a response. I understand that hiring priorities can change, but a simple update or rejection would have been appreciated—especially after the time invested in a lengthy technical assessment and multiple interview steps. Pros: Structured interview process at the beginning Clear technical assessment Cons: Poor communication and lack of closure No response after confirming team interest
