I applied through company website and was contacted by recruiter. Had an interview with recruiter and then with the hiring manager. Interview went quite well and I got positive feedback right after the interview. Next step was a technical assessment. I heard back from the recruiter in around 1,5 month after the first 2 interviews. I got an assessment in the most inconvenient time and had to partially change my plans to complete it. It took a lot of time as it wasn’t an easy assessment. Required a lot of research. After submitting my assessment I had to get an appointment to present my solution but I didn’t hear from the recruiter for 2 weeks. After second follow up I received a call from recruiter. I was informed that they went ahead with another candidate. It’s the worst recruitment experience I’ve ever had. It was very disrespectful to me as a candidate. I spent a lot of time and energy for this process and assessment but didn’t even have chance to present it or at least receive any feedback about it. After call I received a standard reject email.
