I applied for backend Software Engineering position. I had a phone call with a recruiter who asked basic questions on my profile and work. After couple of days, I was provided with a java coding assignment which I had to complete in 3 days. I worked on the exercise for about 3 hours and made sure I answered with as much details as I can and replied back to the recruiter with the completed assignment in given time. About a week passed and I sent another message to the recruiter requesting for update. He mentioned I will hear back soon. But since then, 2 more weeks have passed and never heard back anything. Even if it was a reject from the team, they should atleast let their candidates know about it since they take time and effort to complete your assignments. I think of this as a very careless attitude and doesn't portray good cultural values of the company.
