1. Intro/ Recruiter 2. Hiring Manager 3. Coding Exercise 4. Team Technical Interview 5. Culture Fit interview The first two interviews were good. Interviewers seemed kind and were well prepared. The feedback I received for the coding exercise seemed pedantic, it felt like not much thought or consideration was given to the actual problem solving component of the coding exercise and the feedback was mostly focussed on critiquing the design pattern I used, which in my opinion is largely arbitrary and is not a good measure of problem solving abilities. Coding exercises take time and effort to complete. That needs to factor into the review. If what you want to test is knowledge about a specific design pattern used at Remote then maybe set up the test in that way. Otherwise please nitpick on the actual solution, don't dismiss it based on the fact that this file should be in this folder or this function should be in this file. I'm a 100% certain no one actually run my code because the feedback would have reflected it. I was quite frustrated and disappointed by the quality of feedback.

TA > Hiring Manager > Take-home exercise. No prior Elixir experience, so the exercise was an easier one. Seemed focused on proving I had learned about the Phoenix ORM framework, and was able to apply optimal performance choices to my solutions. What came as a surprise was a pedantic review of trivial choices, grading them as “major issues”. Seemed obvious they were justifying a preformed judgment. Zero interest in people’s management skills, so I wonder what a toxic environment this company might be. Total waste of time.
