- An online coding assessment
- An interview
- A coding project
I passed the first two parts but failed the coding project. All together I probably put about 30 hours into the coding project, though probably I could have gone faster.
The problem is you have no idea how it will be evaluated. After working this many hours, and building a pretty good solution, you would expect they do their part and hire you.
I think overall it was a total waste of my time. I would recommend putting that time into studying leetcode instead.
If you go through with this process, ignore the written requirements for minimalist architecture. If you do this you will fail. As well don't waste time cleaning up the code, as this is ignored. Put all your focus on superficial things only such as api names, and an over-complicated architecture. The reviewers probably won't bother looking at details.

First a basic HR interview to talk about your pasr jobs, then a four hour coding challenge, they send you the instructions of what they want and ask for a plus if you can do, then you must submit the code to their github while you can talk with them on their Slack. The weird thing is that I totally nailed the project they asked, perfectly coded and also the plus they asked for, but then they decided not to go forward with me (???) I didn't asked to be interviewed cause I already have a job, which makes me think that this company is making interviews just for the sake of doing interviews, they don't actually will hire. If I were you I would not waste my time.

Basic HR questions, like how many years of experience do you have.

I applied for the position on their website. The job description clear, gave good details about the work and culture there, which is great. However, immediately after applying to the position, I received an automated email asking me to complete a timed 40-minutes technical assessment on DevSkiller. Seeing that at this point I have no idea if my resume was screened and if this is a good fit for me, it's hard to justify spending close to an hour of my personal time on a quiz when the company didn't spend a second on my candidacy. As a senior professional who works a full-time job, has a family, hobbies and other responsibilities, my time is valuable. Considering there is no shortage of opportunities for experiences engineers, I have decided to use my time to pursue other openings who seem to value my time a little more.
