I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Launch Potato
Interview
After two weeks of calls, emails, and interviews they gave me a "coding challenge" to show my stuff. This was a lot longer than they told me it would be, and when they decided to go with somebody else they didn't even give any kind of meaningful feedback on it.
I'm sorry to hear that your interview experience wasn't ideal. I can assure you this is not the norm. We only work with a select number of external recruiters who do not give coding challenges. Internally, we stopped giving coding challenges in 2020.
Before 2020, we tested coding challenges but always gave constructive feedback to ensure candidates could learn and grow.
If you're open to sharing more information, please get in touch with me directly, as I'd like to make sure other recruiting firms aren't telling candidates they work with us if they aren't.
My email is kris@launchpotato.com. I appreciate any help you can provide.
