Had an initial intro chat with a recruiter, then moved on to coding round. It's been over a week and they have completely ghosted me, even though I did manage to complete the exercise. I probably won't follow up, but they don't seem to respect their candidates

Question 1
this was a frontend screen: you have a table, need to search across rows, and sort by column, among other things
I spent a whole day on the onsite coding round and still got rejected, even though I met all the requirements and had everything working. I should have read other people's posts beforehand.
Started out with a standard recruiter call, followed by a technical round on CoderPad. The recruiter was friendly and asked the usual screening questions. Like another review said, the coding interview was...confusing. You're given the inputs but not an output - you're expected to figure that out on your own. It also seems like it could be a standard Leetcode problem, but it involved a bit of data science/stats fundamentals to get to that point. My interviewer wasn't very collaborative, so I was guessing what the output should be and how to process the input. I believe the future rounds would have been a full day onsite where they expect you to complete a project - to some that sounds like a fun hackathon, to others, well, free labor.
