The interview process can be best described as "Maximum Extraction, Zero Interaction." There was absolutely no initial screening call, no introduction to the team, and no human contact whatsoever. I simply received an email dumping a massive technical assignment on me. The power dynamic felt comically unbalanced: candidates are expected to burn their entire week architecting a complex system and writing documentation, while the hiring team seemingly sits back in a café, sipping espresso and eating macarons, waiting for the results to roll in without lifting a finger. After submitting a solution that handled all edge cases and requirements, I received a generic, template rejection email more than a week later. There was no feedback, no code review, and no acknowledgment of the significant engineering effort invested. It felt less like a hiring process and more like free consulting or idea farming.
