Applied for a data scientist role. Process started with a take-home exercise estimated at 4-6 hours, a full analysis with a notebook, a one-page memo, and a prompt log. I submitted everything through Greenhouse and sent a courtesy note to the recruiter. After that, no response. It has now been two months with no acknowledgment, no rejection, and no status update despite the time the take-home required. The exercise itself was well-designed and realistic, so the silence afterward was disappointing. I'd suggest candidates weigh the unpaid time commitment against the chance of hearing nothing back.
