I was given a technical Laravel assignment. I spent considerable time building it out carefully.
However, the feedback I received after submission was superficial and, frankly,
disappointing and lacked respect for the candidate. It did not really engage with the actual code or logic and came off as dismissive,
especially considering the effort involved.
Overall, it felt like a waste of time and lacked the respect you'd expect after seriously investing in a technical challenge and to top
this they do not even responded to the email.
Average interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Optimy in Aug 2016
Interview
You have to take a little technical test on their website, you have to decrypt an url from a hash and then post a json body to this url.
After that you have a brief discussion about technologies and experiences with the CTO. Really nice guy and talk :-).
