I applied online with a referral from my friend (I think it's impossible to get even noticed without a referral to this company). Approximately 2 weeks later an HR emailed me and scheduled a phone call. Did the interview with the HR and was the most absurd phone call I've ever had, it's like the HR wasn't even listening to me and I can hear the HR chatting with his/her friend while I'm answering the question he/she asked. Nevertheless, they gave me an assignment to work on, and I had a week to finish it. A week went by, I submitted the assignment and had to wait another week before I decided to email the HR just to get a confirmation that he/she has received my assignment. HR replied that it's well-received and it usually takes 3-7 days to process. 10 days gone by and I emailed again asking the status of my application, no answer until 2 weeks later a template email went to my spam saying that I've been rejected. I worked on the assignment day and night, every day for a week, submitted over than 20 pages of work. Considering how difficult and the number of questions they assign to me, a template rejection email being sent after days of unresponsive HR was so irritating. I didn't even get the chance to had an interview with the user to explain my work, or even basic knowledge about the role, they just rejected me with no apparent reason.
