Entrevista
2 negatives:
1- The recruiter who reached out to me on LinkedIn sent me a link to set up our zoom. I scheduled it for 9am on Monday. Come 9am Monday, no one there. I emailed / called to confirm I was in right link before leaving the zoom at 9:20. Then I get an email saying he had "a family emergency" and "didn't realize our interview was so early." (!) We met later in the day and it went well enough that he scheduled next round.
2- Second interview fine, became clear the job wasn't for me, they weren't very accurate about it in the job description (it was way more technical than advertised)

They are looking for free consultancy.
Absolutely bizarre 7 stage interview process where tech skills / communication skills were tested. I enjoyed the chats but the final take home was a waste of 10 hours.
Take home test was to code/configure their APIs (with poor instructions) and run and test the endpoints and then create a system design to integrate a payments system.
My technical skills were already tested but they just wanted free consultancy on their systems.
The hiring manager didn't see bothered about asking any questions to me regarding what I was talking about - he focused on the fact I spoke about the architecture rather than spend another 5 hours reading their documentation and making a diagram.
Would definitely not recommend the process with the current structure.
