Extremely lengthy process. Would never have heard back if I didn’t follow up repeatedly.
Ultimately decided they felt all candidates were lacking some mysterious quality and reposted the role with same requirements.
Don’t waste your time with them, cause they’ll surely waste yours.

I had a very frustrating experience with this company’s hiring process.
The process involved four interview rounds and a fairly extensive technical assessment. I spent a significant amount of time working on the assignment, including late nights designing and presenting a detailed automated embording solution. As part of the process, I created a Loom demo explaining the system architecture, implementation approach, and design decisions in depth.
After submitting everything and walking through the solution during interviews, I never received any update or feedback about the outcome of my application.
What made this particularly disappointing is that I could see my Loom demo being viewed multiple times (9 views). This indicates the material was reviewed internally, yet no one took the time to provide even a short response, feedback, or a final decision.
From a candidate’s perspective, it felt like a substantial amount of engineering work and detailed implementation thinking was extracted during the interview process without proper closure or respect for the time invested.
Technical assessments should evaluate a candidate’s skills, but when they require deep architectural design and detailed explanations, companies should at least provide transparency and follow-up afterward.
Going through four interviews and delivering a full technical production ready solution only to receive complete silence left a very negative impression.
