Finish this assessment and turn in through greenhouse
I don’t usually post things like this, but I feel as I’m obligated to save fellow software engineers from wasting their time and frustrations with this company.
Recruiter was flat out rude, condescending, and demanding. Hiring manager was clueless, unorganized, was not technical, and would pretend to know what we were talking about. Non-technical interview was conducted by the MOST unprofessional person I have ever been interviewed by in my career. If that doesn’t scare you, please go ahead and interview there. I feel bad for the engineers there, because they actually told me that they can’t hire anyone worth their money because of all this.
You have to do a take-home exam. It is a simple API in Go that does some processing. Be careful, they will give you an option to provide a private repo as a submission but then you will receive a rejection email saying that your repo was private and team couldn't review it. This was after I had told the recruiter that I am happy to give the team/reviewer access. Just poor communication in general.

Write a simple reciept processing API in go. It is super simple if you know how to use hashmaps.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fetch
Interview
1st step in the interview process is having a takehome. No interview or call with HR.
You have a generous amount of time to complete it. They perform 'tests' that take up to 48 hours for them to tell you your results.
However, I believe that they completely disregard the takehome results and just choose the best resume.
Given that they are citing 'compliance' reasons for not discussing what could be better, instead of doing the correct thing and wanting engineers to improve, you should avoid doing this company's interviews.
