Judge.me Full Stack Ruby On Rails Developer interview questions

The initial screen involved talking to their operations manager and a consultant that they hired specifically to conduct their technical interviews. The part with the operations manager was okay, but the technical part was a bit strange since I couldn't ask questions about how their tech works since the person conducting the technical part of the interview did not work for JudgeMe. After I passed the first round, they gave me an online assessment exam that only takes about 30 minutes to finish. They also gave me a take home exam that, in their words, was supposed to take 4-5 hours on average. 4-5 hours is already pretty long, but in reality, the whole thing took me about 18 hours to complete. They handed me a legacy Rails 6 app that was broken out of the box. Just updating the dependencies and getting it to run already took me a few hours to do. The assignment itself was also very demanding. They asked me to create 3 pages based on a mockup which involved creating multiple features to pull off. I managed to finish everything, but I got rejected over some nitpicks that the CTO found over my submission. Some of their nitpicks were actually wrong, so I'm guessing they were looking for very specific solutions and the take home exam wasn't as open-ended as they say. My experience with their interview process was really bad. A lot of times, it felt like they didn’t know what they were doing. I thought they had no respect for my time. Hope they improve their interview process because I would not recommend them the way they are at the moment.
