Small Improvements interview questions

I got in contact with Small Improvements through Facebook, where one of their employees was complaining that they could not find software engineers. After applying there, they asked me to complete one challenge: a React Tic Tac Toe. Then I got a first interview, where the person I was speaking with told me that the job was chill. At the end, I asked what were the next steps for the recruitment process, and they told me: - Remote task, which could either be done during the day while they would answer right away any question, or in the evening and just get a debrief later (which I chose) - A tech interview of 90 minutes - An interview with the CEO - An onsite trial of two days (which I could either bill or get paid later with the salary) Plus the first challenge and first interview, for a Junior position. Between each steps, I was waiting minimum a week. After the tech interview, I had to wait for two weeks (I of course emailed them one week after) to get rejected without any kind of respect for the time I spent on their crazy recruitment process. The process went from the 28th of July 2023 (the day I applied) to the 16th of October. When I asked at least for some feedback, they just ghosted me.

Instead of asking for the usual documents like a cv or reference letters, the job description asked for a detailed description of a problem that was solved in the last two years. This was followed by a friendly phone interview with the CEO, asking about motivation and past experiences. After that came the on-site interview, that consisted of a single talk with some of the current developers and the CEO. Interesting enough, there wasn't too much focus on the applicant or his career, but instead almost all questions revolved around specific details of the problem described in the initial email. Overall the tone was very different from the phone interview, to point where it got almost rude and disrespectful. I guess that is what they refer to as "developer grilling". In summary, it was surely the worst interview process I've ever participated in, but I still think its a decent company. The chances of getting hired with a good salary without connections to the existing employees are extremely low in my opinion, so think carefully if you want to spend your time on this.
