My experience with the hiring process was disappointing. After submitting the assignment well before the deadline, I waited over 12 days to receive an update. When I finally heard back, I was sent only a generic rejection message stating that I would not be moving forward, without any constructive feedback.
I also followed up and specifically requested detailed feedback to understand where I could improve. Even after waiting another week, I did not receive any response. Considering the significant amount of time and effort I invested in completing the assignment and providing a thorough explanation of my design process, I expected at least a few minutes of meaningful feedback.
While I understand that not every candidate can be selected, timely communication and constructive feedback demonstrate professionalism and respect for applicants' time and effort. I hope the company improves its hiring process and candidate experience in the future.

Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience
After submitting my application and completing the initial interview stage, I was expecting some form of feedback, whether positive or constructive. Instead, I received a generic rejection email from the hiring manager, with no specific reasons provided as to why my application was declined. There was no acknowledgment of my qualifications or the effort I put into preparing for the interview. It felt as though my application was not properly reviewed or considered, and that I was dismissed without any fair evaluation.
This lack of communication and transparency left me with a sense of frustration. As a candidate, I would have appreciated more insight into what went wrong or where I might improve for future opportunities. A more personalized response, even if the decision was ultimately a rejection, would have been greatly appreciated and would have reflected better on the company's professionalism.
Overall, this experience has been discouraging, and I am left with a negative impression of the hiring process at Scalex Media. Clearer communication and a more thorough, respectful approach would go a long way in fostering a better candidate experience.

The overall interaction was very smooth and insightful. It focused on experience and how skills align with the company's value and motive. Both technical and non technical aspects were given equal weightage.
