Hi, I'm Nisarg, CEO of Affable. First off, apologies that your experience interviewing with us was not pleasant. We take this feedback on our interview process very seriously and have asked the hiring manager to consider this feedback. For clarification:
1. Although the exercise looks difficult, this is a way for us to filter out candidates who are creative and are willing to put in the effort. Of all the applicants we interviewed, we made 2 offers for the role based on the exercise. We do NOT use the blogs from exercise in our content in any way. As a startup, we are in this for the long term and such cheap tricks will not take us anywhere. Said that, we understand why you might have felt that way compared to exercises at larger companies and will work on the marketing exercises to make it more industry standard.
2. None of our reviews are forced. All the employees at the company have submitted authentic reviews based on their current/past experience working with us. At Affable, we are like a small tight-knit family and we take care of the family once they are part of it. Our core values include being open to feedback & criticism and we hold ourselves to a very high standard.
If you are open to applying again, we would love to reconsider your application in a competitive manner. If you need to write to me directly, I'm at nisarg@affable.ai.
Thanks and good luck!
Nisarg
