Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Storyteller.
Entrevista
I applied via Indeed and then got an initial interview offer. The interview was very weird and 100% AI (camera off, robotic questions and answers) just like all the reviews here are saying.
I'm glad I read the reviews here so I don't waste my time completing their tasks.

Pergunta 1
Basic questions like "Tell me about yourself" and when I finished answering the AI just gave me a general response, not even acknowledging what I said.

Entrevista
I applied for a Junior Developer position and was invited to a screening call. During the call, the interviewer kept his camera off, claiming he was moving between locations. The call felt scripted . the same phrase "if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer" was repeated multiple times throughout.
After the call, I received a take-home technical assessment with a written promise of €50 compensation regardless of the outcome. I stayed up all night to complete it and submitted Saturday morning.
After submission, all communication stopped. I sent multiple follow-up emails with no response. I also reached out directly to the CTO, who had been given access to my repo, still no reply after two days.
The promised €50 was never paid and no acknowledgment of my submission was ever given.
After my experience I found similar reviews on Glassdoor describing the exact same pattern, camera off, paid task promise, then complete silence. I wish I had seen them before investing my time.
Candidates should be aware of this pattern before committing time and effort to their hiring process. And I will do my best to spread this so no one gets deceived by this company again.
Even if they will respond later they should have respected the candidates and given me a response about what's going on with them, and I'm sure they are currently working as the schedule they sent me had working hours.

I suspect Storyteller is using these paid tasks as "speculative work" and using this as a way of getting consulting work on the cheap.
I spoke to no one at the company, before being asked to do a task, which I thought was odd and haven't experienced before but I ran with it.
The brief was incredibly in depth and it actually took considerable time, 6 or so hours. Once completed and set off I was hit with a blanket rejection email with no comments. Literally no specific feedback, not even a mention of skills it lacked they were looking for.
I asked for specific feedback a week ago to see what I could improve and I've had no response. The same Job role has been re-posted 2 days ago, in the same region. It's because of this that I suspect Storyteller are Phishing for consultancy work through interviews, highly unethical.
A rejection with clear feedback or a call to go through mistakes is the bare minimum for tech companies these days. Even if this isn't a phishing exercise, their HR department is woeful and needs to rethink candidate experience, as is evident from similar interview reviews.
