I went through a mostly take-home and async process, and I never really spoke with engineers. The evaluation felt opaque.
First, I received emails with a repo-linked task and had roughly an hour to complete it, without any direct interaction with the company. In another step, I was given a GitHub repo and a repo or PR-style task. The focus was on the backend or frontend depending on the role, and I submitted the solution for review.
I also had an HR or recruiting call, followed by a timed technical test that took about 90 minutes. I completed it and submitted it as a PR, although the problem statement was poorly written. I didn't move forward. I was rejected each time, and the unclear instructions and limited feedback made it hard to know what "good" looked like.
Location: Italy. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
