Worst experience. Do not interview with this company, do not take coding exercise. Do not fall for the "nice" act of the recruiter. In general when someone offers you a take home project it really means they want to funnel a lot of candidates with no investment on their part. Bad deal. You will spend more time on the project (more than they say), they will spend 5-10 minutes and reject you giving very vague reasons for it. The coding assignment had a vital piece of info not included which either a bug in their assignment or was done by design. I had to spend extra time figuring it out and debugging their code. Not cool. What did they really learn from it? I don't know. This is a fist company that approached me bragging about their great glassdoor reviews, unfortunately I only glanced at their employee reviews had I clicked on another tab and read interview reviews I would have passed on them right away. It is also suspicious how high their employee reviews are, something is off.

The process started quickly after I got started, and I interviewed with 8 people at various levels including HM. After 2 weeks of interviews, I got a positive “moving ahead” response. Recruiter hinted at offer and asked me for references which I provided promptly. They quickly checked references, then there was silence for 3 weeks, followed by “not a fit” email response. They could have gleaned this after a few interviews, instead of at such a late stage. My advice for the company would be to be upfront with candidates about the stages. It also seems like they have too many decision makers in the loop.
