Verkada CV Engineer interview questions

Had a phone screen with recruiter and they gave me a project, i asked couple questions about implementations, but HR doesn't understand the tech stuffs, so HR just copy pasted requirements that dont make much sense, it took me quiet a while to meet all their "strange" requirements, i handed in project, they got back to me in 2 months told me they still reviewing, then i had a call with CTO during the call the CTO didn't even know what i did in the project and didn't ask anything about the work and effort i spent on the project, he asked me couple behavioral questions, few weeks later they told me they don't have need for my skill set. Almost 2 months worth of time are wasted . on this interview process, they could just tell me in the very begining that they dont need people, i guess they just throw people in the process, throw you a project with bunch of weird requirements and finally even without looking at it. Completely waste of time
