First interview was with an engineering manager. They were engaging and had a good discussion that included technical aspects.
The following was meant to be a live coding interview but just before we started they were kind enough to give me a take home task when I mentioned that I struggled with this type of live coding excercises.
They gave me a figma file with a design to follow: a simple to-do list. The design had a few issues with items not having enough colour contrast, displayed a masonry layout that cannot be achieved yet with simple css, and had a propietary typography but I mentioned all this in an extensive README in the task repo.
The main focus of the task was to create something "pixel perfect".
I did the task and I followed the design. Sent the task back after 2 days.
Then, I didn't hear from them in 3 weeks only to get a very scarce feedback that complained about some links not having an actual url, a form that they never asked for wasn't there, and a few more petty comments which I thought reflected a lack of knowledge in accessibility, design and overall lack of interest in assessing a test properly. I was very disappointed as I thought they were a bit more professional
