I began with a HackerRank assessment that felt more like backend work than a puzzle. I had to build backend API functionality across multiple files, then fix failing tests with help from an AI assistant. After I completed both parts successfully, I was invited to an automated screening interview, which felt straightforward.
Then the process stalled. I received no recruiter contact, status update, or rejection email after finishing. More than two months passed, and it felt as though my application had disappeared into a black hole. The hardest part was not only the time spent, but the lack of a clear hiring contact while I waited in limbo.
Location: United States. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: no offer.
