GermanyPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After applying, I completed early written questions and submitted an assignment on time.

I was expecting at least a response, but then the process went silent—no follow-up, no clear reason, just an absence of communication.

Later, I tried again when another application asked for a longer questionnaire. I spent time outside work answering a large set of pre-screen questions within a submission window, and even though I put effort into it, I got rejected soon after submitting with no explanation. That same pattern of uncertainty showed up again for me: there was a form of testing early on, but once I passed that stage, I didn’t see meaningful communication afterward.
