Interview
I got an email from Eva (the ceo) on a Saturday to have an interview the following Tuesday which I accepted. I rented out a office for this at school because I didn't have the time to do the interview and then commute to school. 10 minutes before the interview she cancels and schedules another interview for Thursday. I have to rent out an office again. Thursday rolls around and she cancels 10 minutes before the interview again. Completely unprofessional and signaled red flags everywhere so I decided to not continue interviewing. Beware interviewing here. Times are tough right now, and people can't afford to be losing time like this to sketchy companies.

Interview
I was contacted to interview with the Director (Shelby). The interview was fairly short - it only lasted 10 minutes. I found it unusual that this was a video interview and she didn't turn her camera on. I was asked to summarize my sales experience, which I did. Zero questions asked of me as to why I'm looking for a new opportunity or really anything detailed about my background. Despite this, I did express a high level of interest in moving forward with next steps, as this opportunity and the company were very appealing. I was told she would reach back out no later than the next day and she did not. I sent a follow up email and **crickets**. I'm simply pointing out lack of follow-through and not extending the professional courtesy of a simple reply.

Interview
After a couple of rounds of 1:1 discussions, I was assigned a take-home assignment for a Minesweeper application, described as "infinite" by "infinite" in size (an impractical requirement in computer science) along with a range of comprehensive features.
Despite the daunting nature of the task, I dedicated three days to meticulously crafting the entire application. Aware of the impossibility of infinite size, I made assumptions and tailored the application to handle a staggering 10^64 rows and columns, ensuring optimal performance through rigorous profiling, benchmarking, and other essential measures.
However, upon submission, it became apparent that the company had no regard for my efforts. They swiftly integrated the main algorithm into their project without any discussion or acknowledgment of my submission. This disregard for the work I put in not only undermines the integrity of their job postings but also reflects poorly on their hiring process.
Their unethical behavior is evident and speaks volumes about their lack of professionalism.
