- Nach Absage erhielt ich ein PDF-Dokument mit der Auswertung meines Assessments. Dort wurde meine Persönlichkeit als "poor" benotet. Diese Art der Klassifizierung empfinde ich als unprofessionell.
- Der Interviewer stellte viele Detailfragen zu "Server Side Rendering", obwohl ich ihm bereits nach der ersten Frage mitgeteilt habe, dass ich mich mit dem Thema nicht auskenne. Demzufolge konnte ich alle Fragen nicht beantworten. Das hätte abgekürzt werden können. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass der Interviewer selbst gern mit seinen Wissen glänzen und mir mein Unwissen aufzeigen wollte. Meine Antworten (z.B. zu React Reconcilation) hat er in anderen Worten nochmals wiederholt und so getan als hätte ich die Antwort nicht gewusst.
- 90 Minuten für ein Interview empfinde ich als nicht mehr zeitgemäß. In den letzten 15 Minuten wurden mir noch zwei Live-Coding Aufgaben gestellt, für die ich nur noch wenig mentale Energie übrig hatte.
- Ich empfinde es widersprüchlich, wenn man Enthusiasmus ein Company Value ist, aber in dem Interview zwei von drei Interviewern nur still zuhören und selbst nach Aufforderung kaum Fragen stellen.

I was contacted by a recruiter for this position.

The recruiter was not specific about the role level requested, I found out it was for a Senior role only after spending a full week of my free time developing the coding challenge.

The selection process consisted in developing a full-stack application mocking a chat. It was supposed to be solved in 6 hours but it was clearly impossible due to the requirements:

- React front end with layout matching exactly a provided mock
- Spring project as backend
-Dedicated database
-Dockerized instances
-Unit and integration tests

Even though it was functioning, the challenge was rejected with little feedback, providing a significant waste of time form my side.

Worth noting that no introductory call with the direct company was scheduled before the assignment, in my opinionnit does not even matter if the selection process now changed, because I still wasted two weeks doing the assignment.

- instead of making your applicants run through a standardised process that doesn't involve any personal contact with human beings, why don't you just take some time and invite people to personal video interviews?
- it would be more professional to give an overview on the whole application process at the very start
- although I appreciate it if companies have demanding application processes (incl. multiple interviews and exercises) it would be respectful if you would give feedback quicker than three weeks and give deep feedback instead of just rejecting the application with a standardised text

If you are looking for colocated employees please dont post job offerings as "remote based". Also answer to mails and questions after the final decision.

They use VisioTalent to get your take on how a good work environment looks like, questions like that. I guess scum companies use scum apps, right? Haven't heard back since. I'm voting one star in every category - not because I'm allegedly mad or something (I've found a way better job in the meantime, so really, I couldn't care less except for me wanting to inform other potential applicants) but because it actually reflects reality in every single category. Reaction = none, fast answer = no answer, predictability = not given, professionality/info/atmosphere/appreciation/answers/further steps = not applicable (you're all by yourself in the app, which does not work on non-mobile I might add), response = there is none. Therefore, the application process is absolute trash, but at least it does not waste as much time as these giant companies with 4 or more interview steps
