The process consisted in a pair programming call to solve four points, knowing how to manipulate models attributes and data calculations was a must. The exercise tried to simulated a "similar" structure that is implemented on their real product.

Entrevista
Not a terrible experience overall, but every interaction with them came off as rather immature and amateurish.
The CEO, reached out on AngelList with a note saying how much he loved my profile and what a great fit I'd be with the company. It became clear on responding to him that his message was just part of a blast message to many candidates.
After responding to the CEO's message to indicate my mutual interest, I was contacted by their recruiters (and copied on several of their internal communications) to set up a technical phone screen with the head engineer. This interviewer was subsequently 20 minutes late to the technical phone screen. He never acknowledged being late, (let alone apologize) and jumped right into the coding challenge with virtually no pleasantries or intro into his role/background, etc.
The coding challenge was interesting, as it was relevant to their business, and of average-to-easy difficulty. I completed 90% of the coding challenge, and would have completed 100% (all that was remaining was more of the same) had the interviewer not been 20 min late.
A week later I received a "no thanks" email.

They didn't show up...twice. I was never called the first time, so after 5 minutes of waiting, I attempted a Google Hangouts link that was in the event they created and nothing there either. I send off an e-mail to question if I got the time or the setting (phone or Hangouts, although they specifically asked for my phone number). Hours later, I get an apology e-mail from the admin who promises to follow up to get another booked. The interviewer replies-all to this e-mail to tell her to schedule it for two days later at the same time without ever asking if that time was still available. I made it work and then got another e-mail the next day asking for availability for the next week, even though she had already created an event that I confirmed for the following day.
I can forgive disorganization, but the assumption that I would simply be available for this interviewer was a major turn off. If they lack empathy just for scheduling, I have no interest in working with them.
