Gave me a coding interview, I did it without any problems, and then got ghosted despite following up. Extremely inappropriate and disappointing coming from this company, will never apply again because it seems like they are just going to waste people's time.

Entrevista
I applied for a Python position with the Polish team. There were 2 interviews and one meeting for a GitHub challenge. The first interview was with a recruiter, who explained everything to me in detail about the company and role, answered my questions, and promised to get back in 2 days. Already the next day I got a challenge that I had 1 week to work on. After that, there was a challenge discussion with the tech team. Everyone was professional and friendly, recruiter was the best. Did not get the offer though, will apply next year again;)
