I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Asaphus Vision in Jul 2023
Interview
I submitted an application online, followed by a prolonged wait of two months. An email from HR prompted a coding challenge, with no clear submission deadline due to their urgent need to fill the position. I promptly submitted the solution the next day. Subsequently, I participated in a 15-minute HR interview after a week, and another week later, I engaged in a 1-hour technical interview with the team leaders. This session mainly focused on discussing my previous projects. However, it was disappointing to learn that there had been no review of my solutions for the coding challenge. Following another week, I received a template rejection notice. The next stage would have involved another technical interview at their office. Overall, the process left me dissatisfied due to its extended duration and apparent lack of respect for candidates' time and effort. The recurring posting of the job advertisement for the same positions comes as no surprise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here are the summarized coding challenge questions (which, in my perspective, lack meaningfulness):
Create a Python script that reads a text file and identifies the four largest lexicographically non-overlapping substrings that meet certain conditions. These conditions include that the substrings must be contained within a single line, consist of strictly alphanumeric characters, and have a length of five characters. For each of these substrings, compute a pair representing its position: the line number in the file and the starting index within that line. Treat these four pairs as points in a Cartesian plane and calculate the area and perimeter of the quadrilateral formed by them. Replace these four locations in an output text file with underscores and design appropriate test cases.

Interview
I solved home challenge (spent half a day), then I had two online interviews, all questioned were more or less answered. In the end they just sent me template rejection. Even Google and Meta give individual feedback, but Asaphus believe they are so famous and great that shouldn't bother themself with any feedbacks.

Interview
The HR sent me a coding problem. I spent several hours over 3-4 days solving the problem. When I submitted the solution after four days, I was bluntly told that the position had already been filled. They wasted my time and energy. I don't understand why they asked me to solve a problem when the position is already filled.
