I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PolitAnalytics in Dec 2021
Interview
I applied for their frontend dev role and really wish I didn't.
For the candidates looking to apply to PolitAnalytics AG/Politik.ch, here is a list of things to expect during their hiring process
RED FLAG 1: A 6-hour challenge, trying to test applicants on absolutely everything. Whoever invented it has zero skills to hire people. If the expectation from a dev (especially a junior one) to do so much during an interview, the question is what are they going to be asked to do day-to-day in a real world environment?
RED FLAG 2: Complete radio silence following the challenge submission and the need to repeatedly chase them up, beg for feedback and having no guarantee you will get it
RED FLAG 3: Purposefully mean and challenging recruitment process, trying to get the best they can for the cheapest money possible without regards for anyone's wellbeing
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The challenge required to build a React app, a Vanilla JS app, implement good UI + UX in both.They also wanted to see the usage of visualisation library + fixing 2 JS snippets + doing 1 algo challenge. All this had to be done within 6 hours!!!
They send you set of tasks with time limit of 6 hours. And they don't even review it with attention. I submitted solutions to all tasks in wanted format, yet in their feedback they said " No solution to review" for the more than half of the tasks.
I double checked the format and send my feedback no reply whatsoever, if you want to waste 6 hours for this kind of company, dozo
