Received an assignment with 3 questions and asked to provide answer. Questions were fair and had average difficulty.
It was very very disappointing that I spent 2 days to provide answer and they didn’t even check. After submitting answer I quickly received a general email that my application got rejected. I wrote to the recruiter and asked that if she even sent my answers to the team. A couple of hours later, the recruiter called me and said the team checked my answers and said because it is a role with some level of interaction with stakeholders, you needed to provide explanation along with answers.
Why I’m sure they didn’t even check my answers? Because I provided the most comprehensive analysis with in depth explanations and interpretations. I wrote 27 pages, in Latex, with a lot of charts and analysis and even some additional examples describing the solution and they said it’s not enough!! They either expected a book or they didn’t check.
To the team and HR:
I am sure you didn’t check my answers. It’s not fair to waste applicants’ time.
