You apply to the position, and are immediately sent an email to take an online, 2 hour, case study from a platform called Woven. Quite surreal and dehumanizing being passed to an automated platform without having had any conversation with a single person. I read the other reviews prior, and I decided to take the case study without additional prep for practice, and also because I wanted to see what the test would be like for a company who thinks so little of its applicants' time. You are given a live, timed, "work scenario" that you get to pick the application architecture. The first scenario is a GitHub pull request review. There are a small handful of supported languages. You choose 1, and are then redirected to sign-in with GitHub. There is a pull request, in this case about ~300 lines adding a new feature to the repository. You leave comments and feedback. When you are finished, you jump back to the live assessment and continue on to an architecture diagram and description of a scenario. In the 15 minutes time limit, you must list at least 3 potential causes to the problem in the system, and detail how to detect and how to fix them. After this completes, you are taken to a coding challenge in an online editor. The language I choose used a standard library that is 6 years out of date. The online IDE basically unusable, and the test runner and description may use some standard libraries you are not intimately familiar with. You have, I believe, around 50 minutes to complete the challenge. I didn't put much effort into any part of this because the stress level would be incredible if you actually were considering this company. I received an automated email from Woven with some AI generated summaries of each part of my attempt, along with what the "top" answers are doing. I may have appreciated this part if the rest of the process was not some dystopian, Olympic-style chase for a job. On Saturday, at 9 AM I received an email with this, incredibly dishonest and obviously false summary of what the team did internally: > "Thanks so much for spending time doing the Woven assessment. We regrouped internally with everyone who's gotten a chance to review your submission and after much discussion as a team, we think the role we have right now and the place where our company is right now may not be the best place to set you up to succeed." I truly hope that this process is not a precursor for what is to come, otherwise jobseekers are in for even more frustration and sadness.
