My recruiter experience was the first big problem. After an initial screening call, I was told a technical round would be scheduled, but then there was a week of silence and I later got a generic rejection email instead. The timing and lack of communication made it feel like the process was already over.
In another run, I showed up on time for a scheduled screening and the recruiter simply never joined the call. That wasted my time and left me with nothing to hold onto, even though I’d been online and ready.

I went through a multi-stage process that ended in something close to a panel-style case study. It started with an online assessment, then moved into multiple rounds until the final step where I had to walk through a client problem they’d faced before. I expected to do a demo and then answer follow-up questions to show how I’d reason and operate under that scenario.
The take-home style work I saw in a similar path was also very structured: a CodeSignal take-home with four stages, moving from a coding task to refactoring backend code with tests, then into a system design question about database synchronization, and finally a behavioral conversation. That format made it clear they weren’t just checking whether I could solve one isolated problem, but whether I could build, verify, and explain decisions end to end.
