After applying they sent my a technical task - arrange sensors by their influence on the true class. A very small dataset, pretty easy task, I built a few models, added some statistics tests and visualization.
The problem is - after 4 days their would answer "our engineers did not find that it met the criteria that we have established for submitted solutions".
I'm ok with the fact that the decided against further steps, but it's completely disrespectful and contemptuous to give such feedbacks. It shows their attitude to possible employees - people spent their time on doing the task, and received zero feedback! What is especially weird it's hard to tell what didn't like or wanted from such simple task.

Entretien
Two Interview rounds. Round 1 - (Online Interview) This was conducted by the tech Leads python, SQL and Machine Learning/Data Science skills were tested. Round 2 - (Onsite Interview) Conducted by a lead, ML Engineer and CEO. Topics - Software Engineering and Machine Learning skills tested. Very intense conversations and the process took approx. 2.5hrs.

I received a small project task with very specific instructions about what they want to see in a solution. The task used a synthetic dataset with very obvious patterns and did not take too much time to solve, although writing a thorough description of my analysis did.
Several days after my submission I received an answer that "our engineers did not find that it met the criteria that we have established for submitted solutions". I wrote back requesting more feedback, but was ignored. In the end I feel that my time was wasted completely, because the task appeared to be trivial and hence uninteresting, there was no reason to research any advanced techniques to solve it, nor did it call for any clever engineering solutions. It's hard to tell what exactly they were looking for in a potential candidate.
