Talked to a recruiter about the job after he reached out to me on a social media networking site. Interviewer was not friendly, got the feeling he would rather have been somewhere else. Not a great impression. No small talk. No "who we are". Went right into the questions. Asked if I was willing to do a coding exercise. I took a look at it and said NO. Don't have time to do that when it is used as a gatekeeping tool. After the exercise you "might" get a panel interview. Maybe we should see if the company and I are a match before going to that extreme. Too many other great companies hiring to put myself through that. Moving on....

Definitely need more organization in the recruitment department. They took several days to respond to emails, had a long process, confused the position with another and gave the wrong assessment. Didn't discuss salary until the end of the long process and after telling me they liked me and asking my salary requirements, I was rejected with no chance to negotiate. Ghosted when I requested more feedback. The engineers who interviewed me and the company both seemed great but the process was not respectful of the candidate.
