I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Atlys in Jan 2025
Interview
I was blatantly ghosted by an HR team, and it’s infuriating. After being given an assignment to complete, I was explicitly told the next round would focus on discussing that assignment and related questions. However, when the time came, there was zero discussion about it—completely disregarding all the effort I had put into it. The interviewer didn’t even bother with a proper introduction and instead threw an entirely new assignment at me, expecting it to be completed within an hour. I successfully completed it, yet no feedback or response followed, even after waiting two weeks. I even reached out, trying to get clarity, but my calls and follow-ups were blatantly ignored. This level of unprofessionalism and disrespect for a candidate’s time and effort is unacceptable.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Atlys (New Delhi) in Apr 2025
Interview
I applied to Atlys via LinkedIn and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. They asked me to complete a take-home UI assignment, which was around 3–4 hours of work. Before starting, I came across several reviews cautioning that the company often uses these assignments without real hiring intent. Despite the concerns, I had some free time and decided to complete it anyway.
A few days after submitting, I was scheduled for the first interview round. The conversation started with some basic questions, followed by a React.js machine coding task. I solved the problem and applied the necessary optimizations. The round went good overall, so I was expecting to move forward.
Instead, I heard back five days later that I hadn’t cleared the round—without any feedback. After spending several hours on the assignment and interview prep, the process felt quite one-sided.
If you're considering an opportunity at Atlys, I’d recommend doing your research and being cautious before investing too much time. It felt like the company was more focused on getting free work done through assignments than genuinely hiring candidates.
