I was requested to complete a case study without speaking to anyone before. This is a red flag, because before putting energy and effort into a case study, its important that there is an alignment between the candidate and the company first. Also expectations and clarity around the interview process would have been helpful. Unfortunately this interaction gave me a red flag. Interviewing is two ways stream. The email: “ We have been positively surprised by the large number of qualified applications we have received for this role. Unfortunately, this also means that we are not able to conduct an initial interview with every candidate. To ensure that your way of thinking and working is a good fit for SanaExpert, we have prepared a brief but very concrete case study for you”I was requested to complete a case study without speaking to anyone before.

The selection process took a long time and it was never clear what exactly they wanted. It was my worst interview experience, I wasted a lot of time and didn't even get a reply in the end.
