An interview was with the junior HR, who did not know much about tech stack or company.
To get introduced to tech team I had to complete technical exercise in 24 hours since dispatch time.
Exercise was fairly easy:
1. Create Nagios check for Kafka or Elasticsearch
2. Create simple Kubernetes and answer few questions.
I've completed and sent back results in requested 24 hours and then....
There was no confirmation that someone actually received exercise. Only when I've asked, they replied.
Then was complete silence for 2 weeks. Even after my follow up email there was no reply from SO1 side at all.
Finally recruiter called me and notified that Lead position is closed, however, they have Senior position still open.
Suggestion - don't put inexperience HR who ruin whole process and impression. Don't create workflow, where you put technical exercise on the very first step, and then lag with checking results. Anf finally, allowing people to get introduced to company tech stack and make decision - would they be interested to work in such a company.
