The process started with an automated email asking to perform a code challenge in Codility platform. There were 2 algorithms test: array jumping indexes and a fibonacci calculation. After completing the test I got an email from HR responsible with the results (which were not that good) with a thorough explanation and evaluation giving me a second chance to improve my response. Also some tips and hints were given, which was nice from the company to do so. I then improved my result and got it passed this phase. The next step is when things derailed. I was interviewed by a Lead developer from the team this position was opened. He came prepared for doing an interview focused on the backend side of the development, and even said this position would require at least 60-70% of backend. Let me repeat here the title of the position was FRONTEND/FULLSTACK. They messed up my application or were not clear with the job title and description for the position which is also bad. After this interview, I got 2 weeks of radio silence until being rejected (from a different HR person) with a generic message saying that at this time my skills and abilities were not exactly matching what they are looking for. Of course, you list a FRONTEND/FULLSTACK position and focus your interviewer to look for a backend developer.

No call from HR or anything, just an email sent in order to do a technical assignment which I found very rude. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and go with the technical assignment which was not based on the job description (write complexe algorithms type of stuff). 3 weeks later, I get no response whether by email or call, nothing. Waste of time and very unprofessional. I should have just sent their first email straight to the bin. Don't waste your time with HolidayAG switzerland.
