As the person who proctored that interview exercise, I want to thank you for your feedback. I obviously cannot discuss interview results in a public forum, but I'd like to respond to a couple of the structural points you raise:
1) We definitely had WiFi trouble that day, which made the interview process frustrating for everyone. I'm genuinely sorry about that. Thank you for offering to use your phone. After that was set up, we made sure to give you the same amount of time all candidates receive.
2) Your resume and profile state "full stack" and list ReactJS, JavaScript/ES6 and other front-end technologies in multiple places. On that basis we decided to include our front-end exercise.
3) The feedback issue was my fault for being unprepared, and I apologize. I had not been asked that before and I did not know if Produce Pay had a policy regarding giving feedback to interviewees. As a result, my answer in the moment was awkward and incomplete. Immediately afterward I addressed that question with my supervisor so it has been corrected for future interviews.
We appreciate the feedback, because we are always trying to improve our processes.
