Articulate Global Software Developer interview questions

One of the worst recruiters I have worked with and extremely unorganized interview process. Recruiter reached out to me about a role at Articulate, had a standard screen call, then a call with the hiring manager. Hiring manager informed me that they were close to filling the role I was interviewing for but was assured there were other teams that had positions that needed to be filled. I received the take home assessment and submitted it on time to the recruiter. Did not hear back for over a week. After a follow up email was told the role had been filled and another team may be interested. Turns out that teams roles were filled as well. Then suggested another team and scheduled an interview. I asked for details about the format of the interview - first was told it would be an interview going over my take home, which at that point had been weeks since completing. I studied my takehome. A few days before I asked about IDE, and was told an IDE would not be required because we were not going over the takehome at all. What was the point of the takehome? The following panel interview was with three high level engineers who were nice enough, but the question was a bizarre pseudocode on a google doc where they were looking for one particular answer. Was even told they had pre-scripted answers to any questions I might have? What are you even assessing at that point? That I can get to your predetermined answer from your vague psedocode bug problem? Overall a terrible waste of time.
