Applied for the role and was sent a technical screen (they called me the wrong name), which took me about 40 mins to complete to a standard I was happy with. Got a generic rejection email with no feedback.

Beware: Misguided Career Advancement Policies
Rating: ⭐️
I recently participated in an interview process where I was taken aback by the hiring manager's stance on career advancement. To my dismay, the hiring manager explicitly stated that they do not expect any promotions within the next 3 to 4 years. This policy reflects a severe lack of understanding of modern career progression and demonstrates a disregard for employee motivation and growth.
In today's competitive job market, top talent is attracted to companies that offer opportunities for advancement and professional development. By imposing arbitrary timelines on promotions, the hiring manager not only undermines employee morale but also risks losing valuable contributors to competitors who prioritize career growth.
Furthermore, this approach reeks of short-sightedness and fails to consider the individual aspirations and potential of employees. By stifling advancement opportunities, the company sends a clear message that it is not invested in the long-term success and satisfaction of its workforce.
As someone who values career progression and believes in empowering employees to reach their full potential, I find the hiring manager's attitude deeply concerning. I would caution prospective candidates to carefully consider whether this company's outdated policies align with their own career goals before accepting any offers.

No time wasting take home exercise, people were friendly and engaging. Made it to the final stage but should have prepared those STAR type work situations better, that’s my bad but I was also in two minds about the extremely fast paced environment - 1 weeks sprints and they have a 4 day week, wow.
