An exhausting and overly bureaucratic hiring process that dismisses candidates over a take-home assignment, even when they have a solid portfolio of real-world impact and results. You have to work for them (because of course they use this as reference to do their work), you have only 5 BUSINESS days to elaborate the home assignment but if you’re already working for another company, good look trying to get time to do that.

This was by far the worst interview experience of my entire career. There were lots of red flags, and even inexplicable rude behavior. I've never felt so disrespected during an interview process.

One aspect I genuinely appreciated was the clarity of communication throughout. The explanations of each stage, what to expect, what you were looking for, and the additional tips provided were thoughtful and well structured. It made the process feel organized and respectful of candidates’ time. The experience would be significantly strengthened by including specific feedback following each stage. When candidates invest time and effort, thoughtful feedback is a meaningful and professional return on that effort. It supports growth and reflects positively on the company’s hiring standards. They do share feedback but the candidates need to ask for it specifically.
