Unfortunately, companies have literally less than zero incentive to be open about their hiring process as that can open them up to litigation regarding hiring practices. It is common, although unprofessional, to never hear back from a company regarding a role you were not a fit for.
To be honest, if one of the coding challenges required you to learn all of Django, clearly they were looking for someone who has experience with Django and not someone who just read the Django tutorial. This tells me that you were likely not a good fit for the role and possibly one of the reasons they didn't prioritize your callback. Id like to emphasize that this says nothing about your skills as a developer just simply how they interpreted your skill set for the role they want to fill. Its best to just move on to a company that does care rather than investing energy trying to convince those that don't that they should.
- baron816 10y agoI don't have a problem with company requiring a python developer. Nor am I super offended if someone doesn't call back. But I do have a problem when they waste a month of my time in a long, unnecessarily dragged out process for a position they know I'm not qualified for, and then not bothering to take a few seconds to shoot me an email saying I wasn't a good fit so that I could get some closure and move on. Irrelevant, but I probably shouldn't have said "all" of Django. Anything I needed to learn for them I could have learned within a few short weeks of working for them. They needed someone who understood good coding practices in general, and could pick things up quickly.
