Terrible experience with the recruiters. They bait and switched a role at NVIDIA, requested a completed HackerRank assessment up front (with surprise frontend/React questions for a backend role), two references up front, tried to negotiate my requested hourly down after we'd already agreed on a number, and then ghosted me. Definitely won't be working with them again and will advise my network to avoid.

Applied via LinkedIn after being contacted by a recruiter. The process began with an online iOS skills assessment, which required a couple of days of preparation. Following that, I had an interview with a manager that focused mainly on manual testing skills, with little emphasis on programming. When that role wasn’t a fit, I was interviewed again for a programming-focused position. During the conversation, I was asked about availability and mentioned I would need about five business days to start. I was told information would be sent to the client, but I did not receive further communication after that. Advice for Candidates: Be prepared for both technical and non-technical interview tracks (e.g., manual testing vs. programming). Expect the process to involve online assessments as an initial step. Clarify next steps and follow-up timelines during interviews, as communication may vary.
