I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Real (New York, NY) in Aug 2023
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me about this position. The first step is to do a take home assessment. I spent about 8 hours working on this assessment only to be rejected without any constructive feedback. The assessment is to create a react app to access github's api and create some pages then submit the project. They ask for code organization, unit tests, and mobile responsiveness, multiple pages, unit tests, and a write up explaining the solution. After doing the assignment, fulfilling all the criteria, and submitting it on time, I didn't hear anything back. I followed up with the recruiter a week later. I then was informed that they rejected my application with some very non-specific feedback. I pressed for more details but only got more non-specific feedback. Based on some other reviews, it seems my experience is not unique so I would recommend steering clear to avoid wasting time and effort.

Interview
I was contacted through a recruiter. The process was outlined as quick since the company is growing 'fast' You get a take home project to work on with your own Github repo. You are allowed up to 7 days to work on it and are encouraged to develop a thorough project with testing and nice UI. I spent about 8-10 hours on the project and polished it up well. Project was submitted in 2 days. I did not hear anything back except for a canned response. This process is extremely disrespectful to candidates time. If you ask someone to put in this much effort for an interview a canned response is extremely rude. Do not waste your time.

Interview
You'll get a coding challenge graded by SonarQube, determining if you proceed to the first round, which involves code assessment and Java/Spring-based file upload questions. My experience was subpar: they focus narrowly on specific languages and frameworks, and the interviewer was unclear in their questioning. Their interview process needs improvement. Also, my interview got cancelled and reschedule 2 times. I mean that's not very professional. Even if I move to next round, I will decline to interview.
