      Application

      I interviewed at Cars.com

      Interview

      Had an initial phone interview with the hiring manager which was followed by a technical phone interview with a Senior Developer. From there was given a coding test and told once finished they'd have me come in for a face-to-face and discuss the code. Finished the code that same day and after not hearing anything for a week they send an email saying they filled the position. Wasted my time and didn't even give me a chance to finish the interview process.
