The hiring process was extremely demanding: a written Q&A interview, followed by a programming quiz, a coding exercise, and a psychometric/logical reasoning test (Thomas International GIA). I completed every stage successfully, delivering high-quality work with no mistakes in the technical parts, and achieving above-average results in the reasoning test.
Despite this, I was rejected without any feedback or explanation. The recruiter signed every email with an invitation to “not hesitate to reach out with any questions,” yet every time I did, my messages were ignored. This felt unprofessional and left a poor impression.
If extra non-technical criteria (e.g., location, specific background, internal preferences) were going to be decisive, it would have been far more respectful to apply them earlier instead of making candidates complete an unnecessarily long and time-consuming process.
Overall, the process was extraordinarily resource-intensive with zero transparency in the final stage. A serious company should provide constructive feedback, especially after an intensive, multi-step process.
