I applied for a Software Engineer Backend role at Pomelo and received an email to complete an assessment that was expected to take around 4 hours. The assessment involved creating solutions for various credit card payment scenarios. After passing all tests and submitting my solution, I received a standard rejection email two days later. Considering the time spent on the assessment, I believe applicants deserve a brief explanation of why their solution wasn't sufficient to move forward in the interview process. I reached out via email for feedback but haven't received a response. I am very disappointed with this process. Dear Pomelo hiring team, please value the time of your applicants.

Onsite round - four interviews including one in person technical interview and three behavioral / system design type interviews with questions that were technical in nature mixed in. There were a couple of rounds before this as well.
