This has to be one of the weirdest interview experiences I've had, and it shows how messy the company is. I applied online and it took them over a month to give me a reply, which directed me to an assignment that would take two hours to finish. No screening call, no basic information like salary range and benefits, and you are asking me to spend two hours for you? If a company doesn't value a candidate's time then obviously it's going to be exploitative towards employees. But I did it anyway and it was quite easy. It took them more than another month to get back to me and tell me that they would like to move forward. I had two coding interviews which were again relatively easy, and then had another interview with an engineering manager. They told me it would be about system design but instead the interviewer asked a bunch of questions about my past experiences, which I frankly just didn't remember that well. A few days later I got feedback from them saying that I didn't articulate well. During this whole process I never directly talked with the recruiter over the phone, and I had to ask through email about basic information regarding the position. Also it seemed that some of the interviewers also didn't understand what was going on with my recruitment process.
