Colloquio
Recruiter sent coding challenge, I completed it a few days later. I sent followup emails to the recruiters for 2 weeks after with no response. Several more weeks later, a recruiter sends a request for interview.
Interviewer initially said "you can make the code as messy as it needs to be to work, I can understand it". They kept interrupting me as I was speaking to tell me how something I'm saying/doing to understand the problem is unnecessary. After solving the problem, they complained at how "if-elsey" the answer was. The interviewer then went and edited my code themself, to add extra return statements and extra "else" clauses. They told me I should've saved a boolean for clauses that were checked twice. They complained about how messy the code was, reneging on what they initially said.

Interviewed in summer 2024. Talk with screener about job, role, etc. First stage was talk with Hiring Manager about exp. Second's home work, create backend service using their reqs, nothing complicated but time consuming. 3d stage arch decision talk with one of the engineers from target team (also security related questions, basic topics without depth). 4th and last interview was with Head of Department or some similar role, std behavioral questions, motivation talk, etc. Didn't pass last stage, reason unknown. 1.5 mos from first contact to the end. Neutral since last stage was terrible, weird talk, ghosted results (before were responsive).

Took 6 weeks for a single interview then never heard from again. Would wholeheartedly not recommend them to anyone ever. This is just too much for anyone to have to go through.
