tl;dr: 1. Was contacted 2 months after applying. I originally applied for a Senior Developer position. 2. 1 hour of screening with a recruiter. They proposed a non-listed Senior Lead Engineer position. 3. 30 minutes of technical interview with a non-expert and confrontational interviewer. Lots of background noise, a bad microphone, and the interviewer's family throwing a party in the background. 4. An 8 hours assignment that they never sent. I lost all that time after moving my schedule around to meet their needs. Requested compensation for my time if we were to try again. I withdrew my applications as they refused. The next steps would have been: 5. Two interviews with people from their client company. 6. Offer. Full review: After applying for a Senior Development position I got contacted by a recruiter. TWO MONTHS LATER. In our talk, they emphasized numerous times how great is to work for the company. Besides the usual buzzwords and cliché phrases, the recruiter made me feel interested by describing what a day looks like for employees. They quickly steered the conversation to a non-listed Lead Engineer position upon seeing my previous experience in management and direction roles. I would apply to both positions. The technical interview was extremely simple. All questions were superfluous and did not have any kind of follow-up or discussion around them, which made me think that the interviewer was, either not an expert in the matters to cover, or did not prepare for the interview. I was able to confirm that they were not experts. It somewhat eased the feeling that they did not care for the interview or position, hence about candidates. But during the entire meeting, I had trouble understanding what the interviewer said due to the bad audio quality of their microphone, the constant loud background noise of their family seeming to throw a party with the TV on, and the understandable and forgivable bad English of this person. The problem is that the interviewer became increasingly confrontational every time I asked if they could repeat what they said, even when I explained why I could not understand. They only apologized when I asked them to, please, mute their microphone as I was not even capable of focusing on what I was responding. It was one of the worst interviews I had in a very long time. I thought I would not pass due to the issues I mentioned. In which case, I would have followed up with the company about them. But I passed. The assignment. I was explained that it would require 8 hours of work, where I would be invited to their Slack and a GitHub repository to collaborate with people from their team to see how would I handle things. We agreed on a time, for which I had to move my schedule around, and others'. The time came and I had no invitation or communication regarding the assignment. I reached out to recruitment and they told me I should receive everything in a moment. Hours passed and I wrote them back explaining that I have already committed 8 hours to them and that if I were to commit more at another time when they could work on the assignment I would have to charge them for my time. They replied how sorry they were for what happened, and that they were as well for not being able to pay candidates for their time. I canceled my applications. I read a lot of reviews about the company and they tend to mention how poorly executed and inefficient their hiring pipeline is, especially in regard to technical evaluation and assignments. I simply have to concur.
