Applied through a recruiter and heard nothing for a while. Then a coding challenge, then another long wait, then an interview. After this, I received a coding challenge, which was reflective of the legacy nature of their code. I sacrificed several hours including my day off to finish the coding challenge, then got a final interview with their dev team. The final interview was fine. After putting me through all of this work, they went with someone more, and someone less experienced and all the time I spent on that legacy coding challenge was wasted. In the end, I feel I dodged a bullet because of how impersonal the process was.
