A recruiter reached out to me via email and invited me to take part in the interview process. They sent me a code challenge to complete. When I asked for more details about the specific position, they sent me a link to their generic jobs site and did not indicate the level. I went on to work on the code challenge anyway and I completed all of the criteria. I received a blanket rejection email two days later. I requested feedback because I was genuinely confused, and I was told they can't share any due to confidentiality reasons. I had zero thoughts on Ramp before being asked to complete this challenge, but now they've left a bad taste in my mouth. I also blame myself for wasting time on a challenge before knowing what position I'm applying for.

Echoing some of the other interviews here -- the application process itself included a CTF coding challenge. It was straightforward given the role but it required way more effort than most applications do. Less than two hours after I submitted, I got an automated rejection email. No feedback was given, and it's unclear if the code was even evaluated. I understand using a challenge like this to filter out unsuitable candidates, but the speed of the response and lack of feedback made me regret the effort I put in.
