Stocard interview questions

The company approached me via LinkedIn HR person, so I got transferred to another person who gave me more info on the company, position etc. which was followed by the case study. The recruiting process consists of phone screening, case study, feedback on the case study, and then the interview with the team and FINALLY the offer. I find the process very long and frustrating. I spent four hours on the task over the weekend and on Tuesday I got the call from the person who is leading the team of the role for which I did the task, saying that they will not proceed further with my application. As this is the role regarding campaigns within the Stocard app, take a look at their business part on their website to understand more. The task consisted of two parts. Both first to understand then calculate and THEN present in a way that it would be like you are presenting to the client (keep this in mind). They are not searching only for correct results, but the way you present them in 2/3 slides, so design/ clarity, fonts, typos etc. (I got an answer: " your results are correct and you presented them in a very clear way, I mean this are not the best slides I have ever seen in my life, so maybe for the future pay attention on typos that we found, more aligned colours bla bla bla). Keep this in mind, as in this way they can ask 100 candidates to do a 4hour task, but at the end whose slides they like the most will go on with the process, a bit ridiculous, as I don't think this presents the way you could do the slides for a customer in the future, as once you are part of the company you learn and adapt, therefore I find it ridiculous, but they can do it as we are in this pandemic and they have plenty of people looking for jobs. P.S while doing the task, you will have an option to contact them in case some questions arise, but do not count on this option (it's just stays there and it is not the real option, as they don't get back to you). Also, the clarity of the task is not the best one, as when reading their task you think that you are supposed to get the correct numbers, but then you understand it is how you present the A B test for campaigns. P.S this is the Junior position! Definitely, Stocard needs to improve and I guess they will respond a month later saying they will take my feedback into account.

1. HR calls about motivations, working style, understanding about stocard and improvement possibilities 2. Team member calls about the similar questions again 3. 4 hours Case study related to the job. I was given a case to calculate some numbers in 4 fours and was sent via some PDF sheet and excel table. I was told that I could contact their BD in CC for unanswered questions. However, there was NO ONE in CC and I did not get any replies during the four hours. Next day I received an email to apologize saying the CC is not taken properly and he was in holidays. I considered as very unprofessional. Two days after I got a feedback call that I was not chosen to move on with the process. What disappointed me was that they did not even spend enough time to review the results (not all the documents I handed in) and it was confirmed when I asked questions about my solution. The logic was right but they evaluated the results based on their standard number, which was not explained during the case. The number depends on the definition of the concept and they obviously did not have a look into the process, even though they said they would take it into consideration. Honestly, I did not see fairness here and proper reaction for their mistakes. I appreciated the feedback call and his attitude of accepting their mistake. All the processes turn out to be negative to me, because I think a company has to act professional especially in font of the external party. They are nice und friendly, but it could not compensate the unprofessionalism. Hope this is understandable und not unexpected for stocard that they receives this comment, because they should take what they react, in my opinion.
