I applied online threw their careers portal, an HR agent contacted me after 2 days to schedule an Skype introductory interview with an IT recruiter. The video interview was about 30 minutes, mainly involved sharing my experience and previous work and 1 or 2 easy technical questions, then we had a discussion about the role. The next step was a take home test which, as the they describe, may take 2 hours, and that is not very true, but they gave me a week to finish. I finished the test 1 day before the due date and submitted it to them and I receive immediately a response thanking me for submitting the result and they will come back to me within 2 week. What actually happened that the sent me a thank you and you are rejected email the next working day. They even refused to specify any reason for rejecting me, the HR really said that `we cannot give out any more information regarding your results due to legal restrictions as well as capacity reasons`, and asked me to understand their situation. I hope they improve this disappointing process and to respect candidates more as they put hours of hard work to finish tests. They I deserve to know what is wrong and why they're not selected. Otherwise it's a wasted time for each other time.

First HR recruiter called for a telephonic discussion and was eager to sign you up for a programming assignment. They sent me over a programming assignment - a web service in Spring Boot which recruiter said is a 2 -3 hour task but in fact nobody can complete that in that time frame . It would take a minimum of 2 hours for 4 - 5 days and they gave around a week's time to submit it. They had given four tasks there. When I submitted , they sent an email thanking for submission and after few hours they sent another email saying thanks for applying and rejection. They should basically improve their process and tell applicants a bit about reason of rejection since candidates usually have to put few days of hard work to submit that assignment. I am from India and opening was for Hamburg, Germany and HR had said about visa etc but I am not sure if they are simply fishing in market and getting projects from various candidates for their developers :) I had really submitted the assignment with pretty good standard because that is what I do day in day out.
