Applied for a front-end Web developer position and they sent me a CodeSignal assessment. I tried going through the example and practice questions and couldn't figure out what the hell i was supposed to be accomplishing. According to a quick Google search, I'm not the only one.

Ended up skipping out and sent a message to the recruiter, that was ignored, but the position is still open two months later.

I've been at this for 18 years, I know what I'm doing, but if you look at the CodeSignal assessment, I'm a drooling idiot.

Betcha it’ll be outsourced once it’s been open long enough to say “look, the domestic talent just isn’t there”

The hiring process for FAANG-level tech companies has confused me even when things were "going well". Anything more than 4-5 rounds of interviews of any type (screening call, video response, homework, remote live interview or in-person interview) seems excessive to me. My tech worker friends seemed to suggest this was the norm.
