I completed an application on Handshake and was contacted by the company for an initial phone screen. After this, I was emailed a homework task to complete, references request, and a link to schedule a 2 hour video interview with three members of the company.
After the video interview, they sent me an assessment to complete by the "end of day", but did not specify if this was the end of the day or end of business hours. When I hadn't completed the assessment within an hour, I received another email from one member of the company with a strong sense of urgency asking me to complete the assessment rapidly. I was not by my computer to complete the assessment immediately, however, I did complete the assessment by the end of the same day.
After this, I was essentially ghosted after for what I feel was not completing the assessment in their time constraints, which I feel is the excuse as to why they did not proceed with my candidacy. I then received an email about a week after advising that I had been rejected.
Unsure as to why, as I more than enough experience to excel in the role, completed all the steps in the process, provided references, yet was given zero feedback besides the rejection email.
I would not recommend this company because of the low salary for the position and industry and the strenuous interview process for a basic tech support role. Other companies are paying more for similar roles with a less stressful interview process.
