1. Initial phone screen 2. Brief technical interview with the Engineering Manager (30 minutes) 3. Take home test (4-6 Hours) I am unsure of the next steps as I did not move on. When I received my rejection notice, I followed up asking for feedback on the take-home project. Quite disappointingly, I was not given any specific feedback regarding the project. After having spent 4-6 hours on the project, I was expecting to at least receive feedback as to why my project did not meet their criteria, and hopeful that they could provide details as to how it could be improved.

I was contacted by a technical recruiter about an open developer position. The process began with an introductory call with the recruiter, followed by a brief 30 minute video call with the technical lead. While the conversation was generally fine, the technical lead came across as somewhat dry and hard to read. After a walkthrough of my background and qualifications, he mentioned I could complete the take home assessment "if I wanted to", which struck me as an unusual way to phrase an important part of the process. Still, I was more than willing to move forward and demonstrate my capabilities. The assessment involved building a small SPA (about 6 hours of effort), which was directly aligned with my skill set. I submitted a polished and complete solution that addressed the requirements specified. What followed was three weeks of silence, after which I was told they would not be moving forward, with no feedback of any kind. Given how aligned my experience was with the role, and the quality of the submission I provided, I found the lack of response both puzzling and disappointing.
