Interview process is as they state it on their website. However there are a few things that could use improvement: TL;DR don't trust the (well intentioned but maybe misinformed) recruiters. 1. Recruiter made things confusing by giving incorrect and confusing information. //Example A: They said "you will get a non-elixir assignment, with 10-20% in Elixir code at most", when in actuality the assignment was still 100% in Elixir //Example B: They said "for team interview no need to prep anything other than reflecting on the assignment". I spent all my time prepping that and in the team interview most of the time was spent on my experiences and behavioral things 2. The non-elixir assignment takes way too long for those who are inexperienced with the language. I'm an experienced dev (10 years experience) and it took more than 10 hours. Learning the framework, syntax, paradigm, setting up env, then actually working on the assignment is immensely time consuming. Remote should either narrow down the scope of the assignment, or tell the candidate what to focus on (e.g. refactoring, unit testing, clearing errors, DB design)

TA > Hiring Manager > Take-home exercise. No prior Elixir experience, so the exercise was an easier one. Seemed focused on proving I had learned about the Phoenix ORM framework, and was able to apply optimal performance choices to my solutions. What came as a surprise was a pedantic review of trivial choices, grading them as “major issues”. Seemed obvious they were justifying a preformed judgment. Zero interest in people’s management skills, so I wonder what a toxic environment this company might be. Total waste of time.
