Time waste alert!
I was asked to complete a take home project. I completed and submitted the take home project which took a few hours.
I then received nothing more than "canned email rejection." Completely disrespectful.
- meesterdude 9y agothanks for this! We should hold companies to some degree of accountability in interviews.
- throwaway55356 9y agoI think that you are right, it is great that companies are getting interview reviews on the monthly thread, especially companies that treat candidates poorly. HN is still a relatively small community, so we must all use justifiable words and beware of cognitive biases. For example, I interviewed with the company we are replying to here, and I thought that I was treated fairly. They even looked into bending a hiring policy for me.
- bogomipz 9y ago>"HN is a relatively small community, and should use justifiable words, and beware of cognitive biases and unfairly ganging up." Providing feedback is most certainly not "unfairly ganging up" . Common courtesy is just that - a common widely accepted norm. It's pretty much the antithesis of a personal "cognitive bias."
