Hi there candidate,
Thank you so much for your feedback. As a small company & team, we relish every opportunity to fine tune our process, so this is very helpful.
First, we are sorry you felt we weren't seriously considering you, candidate, because we absolutely were!
Second, we're taking a guess that the free work you're referring to may be pointed at our interview where we ask the candidate to implement a progress bar in the application (albeit in an old state). We want to clarify that this is task is consistent across candidates. The interview is meant to expose the candidate to our dev environment; the feature, however, has already been implemented, so no candidate work is ever put into production. Thank you for helping us understand that we need to make that clearer. We certainly wouldn't want a candidate to walk away feeling used, and we're grateful for the help in gauging how explicit we need to be going forward.
Again, we are deeply sorry you walked away feeling less than good, and are very happy for the feedback and chance to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Best of luck to you, candidate!
Allie Schwartz
Director of People Operations
