Unfortunately, this was a disappointing interview experience.
The initial conversation with the internal recruiter which was straightforward and the role appeared to align well with my experience. I was then asked to complete a technical take-home assessment via the Coderbyte platform.
Prior to starting, I emailed to clarify how submissions should be shared, as the instructions mentioned uploading results to a portal, but there was no clear way to download or submit the completed test. I received no response.
After completing the assessment, I followed up multiple times to confirm whether my submission had been received, but again received no reply.
Being completely ghosted after investing time in an intitial interview and technical exercise is frustrating and unprofessional. Even a brief confirmation or rejection email would have shown respect for the time and effort candidates put into the process. I really hope the company takes this onboard and improves communication and follow-ups with candidates going forward.
