Wasting applicants' time:
They required applicants to complete a code challenge before submitting the application. The final question on the application included an encoded URL. When you visit the URL, it loads instructions to complete a 4-step coding challenge. First step is to visit another URL and then write a script to find all the HTML tags with data attributes that match a specific pattern, then grab the value attributes in order to make another URL. Then visit the new URL, where you should see a word. The next step is to make a code sandbox application with React that should make a fetch request to the previous URL to fetch the word, and then render the word letter by letter to create a "typewriter" effect. I completed the challenge and was rejected without any interview a few days later. I would not bother applying unless you think this coding scavenger hunt sounds really fun and you don't care if you get an interview.
The application included at least 4 behavioral questions asking you to show how you were a truly exceptional candidate. I'm pretty sure they decided I wasn't exceptional enough without examining the coding challenge. It's just offensive that they choose to waste applicants' time with coding challenges before they do any pre-screening. They could easily move this coding challenge to after they conduct an initial screening.

We believe exceptional performance in one area is a good indication of performance in other areas. Do you have any examples of exceptional performance you want to highlight?
They automatically sent me a coding challenge after I applied. I knew this would probably be a waste of time, but I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment so gave it a go. The test was an hour long, I completed it - fair enough if it wasn't to their standard - but there was no acknowledgment of receiving it. Just got a generic rejection a couple of weeks later. Don't bother - the arrogance of having AI send you a task taking an hour of your time when no human on their end spends even a second reviewing you... what's the point?
I applied online and received the online assessment immediately. If you pass the OA, you can move on to the phone interview, but I didn’t pass. The assessment had two questions: the first was a straightforward algorithm coding problem, and the second involved React—state management and component building. The React question was well-structured and formatted. If you are familiar with React and have solid experience, it should be manageable. I was able to handle the initial framework setup, but I struggled to get the detailed rendering to work.
Following my initial application, I was prompted to complete a technical assessment via CodeSignal. This evaluation consisted of a rigorous, one-hour coding challenge requiring the development of a ReactJS application inclusive of comprehensive unit tests.
