I had an extremely disappointing experience with this company's interview process. During the initial meeting, I was asked to complete a take-home assignment. When I inquired about the time commitment, I was assured it wouldn’t take long. Despite having other commitments, I reluctantly agreed.
However, the assignment turned out to be far more extensive than anticipated. It required:
Writing a minimum of seven pages of documentation
Preparing three presentation slides
Coding a complete pipeline for object detection and tracking
Initially, I considered declining the assignment due to its unreasonable scope. However, as some of my plans cleared up, I decided to take it on for the sake of gaining new experience. Completing the task took a total of four days.
After submitting the assignment, there was a significant delay in communication, and ultimately, I was rejected without any constructive feedback.
