Complete waste of time. Similarly to the previous reviews before me, I received a take-home assessment in which I spent about half the day completing. I took a little longer than expected because I implemented a bit more than the minimum requirements in hopes to stand out. Received an automated email a couple days later saying they were moving on with other candidates who aligned with the position. No feedback whatsoever. I understand the decision in getting rejected as I have been rejected literally hundreds of times from other companies. However if you are going to send a coding assessment that will take people multiple hours to complete, least you can do is show that you respected peoples time and provide feedback from an actual human being or engineer on why they are deciding to move on. If they took my experience/resume into this decision then why even move me onto the assessment phase in the first place? If my skillset is not what they were looking for, then I am fine with receiving an automated email at first. Please do better in valuing people's precious time. Coding assessments take hours/days for some people to complete. Do not follow up with an automated email as it does not help people grow as an engineer. If the number of candidates is the problem, then send less people to the assessment phase so you have time for engineers to respect people's time and follow up with them personally/through email/phone.
