TA > Hiring Manager > Take-home exercise. No prior Elixir experience, so the exercise was an easier one. Seemed focused on proving I had learned about the Phoenix ORM framework, and was able to apply optimal performance choices to my solutions. What came as a surprise was a pedantic review of trivial choices, grading them as “major issues”. Seemed obvious they were justifying a preformed judgment. Zero interest in people’s management skills, so I wonder what a toxic environment this company might be. Total waste of time.
