Colloquio
Save yourself some unbillable hours and llm expenditure, a good skillet that lands a senior ai/agentic engineer elsewhere doesn't get your assignment reviewed by a human here. If you are applying, don't go through a recruiter. The feedback does not match with the assignment submission, leading people to think either it was only reviewed by ai, hastily reviewed by someone that does not match your effort or has been wrongly edited by the recruiter. Recruiter couldn't even tell the candidate got rejected until prompted. Would appreciate that the initial 30 minute screen be reallocated to better evaluation of the take home assignment. Also, don't go for good submissions, go for safe ones. They seem to heavily penalize brittle implementations that were there due to spending more time in other important components.

Colloquio
Initial 30 minute call with another solution engineer, and was then given a take-home task to complete, with a follow-up call with one of the founders. The task was very under-specified, both in terms of the desired functionality and the aspects of the solution they want to focus on (if you're going to assess things like automated testing, CI/CD, code format, or whatever, on a 4 hour task, it might help to let people know this beforehand so they know which corners it is ok to cut). I spent quite a few hours over a weekend on the task, and was ready to discuss the pros and cons of the solution, but I didn't get asked a single question about it during the call. I had the strong impression that no-one at Tomoro even looked at my solution (which is borne out by other reviews here). Instead, I was asked questions about the design of a solution he'd recently worked on (always amazed by people who supposedly have a data or stats background but who will happily assess candidate suitability on a random sample of 1 question).
