I was approached by a recruitment agent for the role. When I agreed to proceed, I was sent a coding challenge. After I submitted the coding challenge the response was fairly quick - like after a day or two. They said that, they were impressed with my coding so want to meet me in person for a 1.5 hour long interview. It was hard for me to manage that amount of time given that I was contracting at the moment. However, I still went for it. When I went there - it seemed like they were not prepared for the interview. They asked me to walk through my code. I did that. Then they asked 1 or 2 technical questions and then asked if I had any questions. Then that was it - they were done. I was pretty shocked because - it was only 20 mins long. Then after I left. Few days later the agent called me to let me know that they rejected me because they didn't like my coding!!! This is beyond comprehension for me. As the coding challenge was the for them basis to select me for the face-to-face interview. I felt like - the whole thing was a setup. But I don't know why they wasted my time and effort like this. Super unprofessional.
