FinlandPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process had three stages: first an HR call to go over the role and my background, then a technical interview with the hiring manager focused on my past experience, challenges, and problem-solving, and finally a take-home assignment with a two-week deadline.

The coding part was only half the story. After I turned in the take-home, it took nearly three weeks to hear anything back at all. When I followed up by email, I got a vague rejection without feedback or any concrete notes on what was missing. I left the process feeling disappointed—not just because I didn’t move forward, but because the time and effort didn’t come with any kind of constructive response.
