Unprofessional interview processes overall It started with an initial screening call with the recruiter which was positive, and I got quickly scheduled for the next interview with the CTO. There I had the chance to present my background and get to know the company on a higher level, ask questions, etc. (I also spent some time learning more about the company's product and history which was suggested by the recruiter beforehand) At the end of the call, I was presented with the further recruitment process and next step which was a code review home assignment task. The recruiter asked me to provide them a short feedback after the call, which I did but never got any reply. I spent around 3-4 hours on this part and wrote around 5 pages (A4) of suggestions to the hypothetical junior colleague, added accompanying code commits, and sent them back the day after. After that point, I was met with complete silence from both the recruiter and any company contact for close to 2 weeks, when the recruiter emailed me shortly that other candidates had gotten the offer. Lack of communication and no feedback to candidates about their applications, while requesting a decent amount of time from them, shows the state of company culture.
