First phone interview with the recruiter was so-so. Lady thought that I was applying for a different position, so questions were unrelated until we finally cleared this out. Other from that - pretty standard recruiter questions. Then there was a test task with a deadline of 1 week. I don't mind test tasks in general, but this one frustrated me a bit. I literally felt that I'm wasting 3-4 workdays on it and this guarantees nothing. The requirements were imprecise, so I ended up asking a ton of questions. And the response took 1.5-2 days out of a 7days deadline. After that there was an auto-evaluation program that checked your solution. It was working fine in my environment but it didn't in the environment of the guy that was checking the task. And they simply don't even check your work if it doesn't pass this evaluation. So I ended up working for a week (including QA sessions) without even having my code checked. After I've submitted my solution there was a complete silence for a week or something. So I notified the recruiter. They responded that "they will get back to me soon". After a week or so, a guy that was checking the solution reached out with some questions. Then again a week of silence, and then a letter "We are not moving forward with your application as your solution didn't pass the evaluation mechanism". Did you, guys, really need 4 weeks to write that?
