Was initially referred to a position, and first had a call with a recruiter, which was average. Next, they gave my a take home assignment (said to spend 5 hours max, but the questions were ambiguous) and a SQL test to do online - the fact all this was assigned before even meeting the hiring manager was a yellow flag at best, but I decided to proceed.
I finished the case and sent it in, and the recruiter acknowledged it - the SQL test / online platform was buggy and wouldn't accept my working code (which ran elsewhere), but I sent in what I had and an extra text file with what I couldn't finish. The recruiter acknowledged that too, and then that was the last I heard from them. I sent one last message to let them know when I received another offer, but was essentially ghosted after front-loading a bunch of time in take-home work, which definitely isn't a great look on TextNow (been weeks now since I last heard) - it was the most negative experience in my recent next opportunity search.
