Hipster interview questions

They sent me an email about the role, package, and compensation that would be provided if I were rejected after the face-to-face interview, along with an assignment that had to be completed within a week. I completed the assignment and was then invited for the interview. However, I politely requested to reschedule as I was still working for another company. The interviewer insisted that it was urgent and could not be rescheduled because he was going overseas. When I told him I couldn't attend, he said he would update me after returning from his trip. It has now been two months, and I have yet to receive any updates. At this point, it just feels like a complete waste of time to have gone through the process, especially after receiving no updates. It also seems like they’re just trying to get free labour from interviewees under the guise of an assignment. If they truly wanted to compensate someone for their time, it should be for completing the assignment, not for attending a face-to-face interview.

- They won't call and won't answer if you do. - I gave an assessment to develop and deploy a model on the cloud. - After multiple follow-ups, they gave a broken link to book a time slot.
