I went through a fairly normal sequence at first: a recruiter and an engineering manager conversation before a take-home technical test. The test involved a large dataset that needed to be sorted by maximum score, and I approached it with something like a max-heap. I ran into a frustrating mismatch between the provided style guide and the actual dimensions asked in the assignment.

The design requirements didn’t fit what the designer’s guidance produced, and even small layout details became part of the critique. What bothered me more was that the feedback didn’t align with engineering reality—while I could see the nit about keeping header text on the same line, the broader issue was that the provided constraints didn’t really match the goal. The tone felt like I was being graded for presentation details rather than the correctness of the underlying solution.

I dealt with recruiters twice over the course of a year, and both times the interaction followed a very abrupt pattern. I had interviews with engineer managers, but I never reached any real assessment stage—no coding exercise, no technical test. After the conversations, I received a no-reply email that effectively meant they had chosen someone else.

The part that stuck with me wasn’t only the rejection—it was how little substance there was around the decision. The messages felt automated, and I didn’t get any meaningful feedback or explanation about what I could improve or whether there was a mismatch. It left me with the impression that the process wasn’t really about evaluating me deeply as much as moving quickly to a pre-selected outcome.
