I've applied at website and received an assignment invitation for evaluate my coding skills at HackerRank. The questions were about Event Delegation, Algorithms and write a CSS based on image layout.
After a successful coding evaluation, the recruiter scheduled a phone interview. In this interview, he asked about my experiences and about A/B Test (They don't know to write a clean front-end code but they're fissured in A/B Tests). The recruiter asked me about how works the commercial part of an e-commerce website and I decided don't explain about because I never worked before with this. Thus, the recruiter told me: "You aren't the guy for this position". He disappointed me because after 10 years of experience I'm not the right guy because I don't master a thing unrelated to my job? I'm a technical guy! I complained harshly and told why I was the right guy showing the facts: Booking.com is the biggest of world just because have content. Without content, they're only a website with a mediocre front-end. Imagine a recruiter discarding a very experienced candidates, that powers the improvement of entire front-end of the website because a stupid question. For my surprise, he approved me to next phase. I guess they don't like coding guys, but wordy people.
In the next phase, I was interviewed by two guys. The first task was write a single HTML of a form within one minute. The next one, was write a javascript validation for that form within 10 minutes, without any dependency and running of code. Just a notepad. After, the guys asked me about improvements at Booking.com. I told the same reasons: The fluid content of index page with a very poor CSS rules (align blocks with margin, oh!), pictures overlayed by a horrible gradient and blank spaces for nothing! Beyond, of course, different styles for each page. They seems a very organized team, but each team is responsible for each part of website and turns it into a Frankstein. Everybody is focused in achieve goals at A/B Test and not concerned for to do the best code, only because the numbers doesn't lie.
A couple of days after my technical interview, I received a generic feedback, that shows the HR doesn't care for candidates. They just discard them after a stupid question.
For my disappointment, I promised myself never apply again for this company disorganized, focused in personal interest and with old methods of candidates evaluation.
