I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week.I interviewed at Accretive Technology Recruiter interview then coding assignment. The assignment was open ended and timed (24hrs), with very loose requirements. They also messed up delivering the assignment. On the second day they sent me via the non-technical recruiter, an incoherent and negative reaction to my work. They said I solved the wrong problem. As someone with a college degree that knows how to follow instructions, I was taken aback. I showed the problem and my solution to fellow colleagues and they agreed I solved the problem that was asked of me. So someone over there doesn't know what they are doing. The feedback was just so dismissive of the fact that the environment I used was a production ready application I built a year ago from scratch utilizing the same technologies that they use, except this one I added configuration and logic to transpile and bundle code that can be written in the browser, specifically for writing React components and running test suites and it works, my students have used it in the past and they said it was an "unsuitable" environment with no explanation on what they meant by that. The only accurate feedback was that I did not test for edge cases, which is correct, because I was not asked to test for edge cases in their loosely coupled requirements and I was given 24 hours of unpaid time to do it. There were probably 10 different edge cases I could have tested, but with tests come corrections to the logic for these tests to pass, which requires a non-zero amount of time. Eating up a candidates whole day without regard for their personal life when they don't even work for you yet is very telling. Not to mention the next step according to them was a four hour interview.
