LinkedIn easy apply -> 15 min 1:1 interview with CTO which included a LeetCode medium. After the interview they gave me a full stack application project with low level Windows systems programming (basically to unlock a Windows machine by scanning a QR code using your phone). The assignment explicitly stated that they needed a “prototype”. I sent three follow-up emails over the course of a week asking for clarification before the deadline and received no response. So I assumed a high level prototype demoing the credential flow would work (simple UI and a FastAPI server). On deadline day, when I submitted he basically replied with one sentence saying it’s all wrong and that the “core component” is missing with no additional feedback. After some back and forth, I received my rejection. Very disrespectful and unprofessional team that did not give a damn about the candidate's time and made it a hostile and challenging interview process. PLEASE STAY CLEAR. Complete waste of time
