I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ailo
Interview
Very negative first impression. The first contact sounded like a terminator - reading a script? - and the initial call will be over before you know it. There really was none of the charms to entice you to work at Ailo. Very bad 'face' to the company. You may have questions about the vague zombie assignment they give you, and they will not be responsive. Eventually, you just make up own assumptions and spend a few hours completing this assignment, only to get the worst, non-constructive feedback on your code, and that's it. Done. The world's not fair, there are better places out there.

The company should respect applicants better.
