Interview
Had an initial call with the recruiter and it felt pretty off. She came across as condescending and arrogant and honestly felt like I was just there to help her meet a quota.
Moved on to the tech take home challenge next. They explicitly said not to spend more than 3 hours on it. I finished all the requirements in under half that time, but they rejected it, saying there were missing error handling etc...stuff they never mentioned in the brief and way out of scope for what they asked. If someone did include those extras, there's no way they stuck to the 3-hour limit. Feels like more evidence that I was just there to tick a box. The job has been re-listed now, so it might even be ghost hiring.
Just a heads-up to anyone considering applying, might not be worth your time. Be aware.

The company required personal information, such as documents (residence permit, etc.), during the first stage of the process (screening) - without signing any kind of contract or agreement stating that my personal information would be safe with Deel.

Fast-paced, very energetic. A bit too many rounds but I interviewed in 2022 so things have changed a lot since then. I got a time-restricted home task as well which was very fun and challenging!
