easy, I hear “take home assessment” I withdraw my candidacy
That’s inexcusable; sorry you had to go through that. And good on you for courageously naming them.
To confirm, the Current you’re referring to is the NYC fintech company?
Lmao they sent me a take-home assignment as well. I didn’t think it was worth doing, so I didn’t bother with it. I got my rejection email a couple hours today. Multiple people in here are saying they got ghosted so I ‘m glad I didn’t waste my time.😂
Sounds like they sent an assessment but in reality you just did actual work they needed completed…. For free
Take home assessments are notorious for making you do work that they actually need done for their business. At least you didn’t have to deal with toxic FAANG people.
The assessment was actually automatic. Everyone who applied got it after a few days and got auto rejected today at 5 PM eastern.
Never do take homes unless they pay you for your time
do you have a link to their website? current is a generic name and i cant find a business when i google it.
I had a technical interview with them a few months ago and got completely ghosted by their recruiter afterwards
This makes me glad I never finished it. I also got the same Current take home assessment (back end banking system). Struggled with it for a couple days and got so frustrated that I just gave up. Seeing your experience validates my decision to be lazy!
Lol, I applied to them and got my take home assigned, took one look at it, and said fuck that. I feel like I dodged a bullet now.
I once had a startup (legit, backed by Sequoia) ask me to build an MVP as a take home assignment, complete with backend in AWS or equivalent. I replied with a lengthy description of how I would architect it. They replied something to the effect of “No we want you to build it.” Hard pass.
I had a company ask me to make a small full stack application once, I told them to pound sand. OP, now you know to do the same. My assignment:
“Create a phone book application using the following technologies:
1. Backend: Java + Spring Boot
2. Frontend: Angular
3. Database Solution: Any (recommend PostGres)”
YOOOOO THIS SAME COMPANY DID THIS TOOO ME!!!
Kinda curious what kind of take home assignment takes a week. Would love to have a look if you still have access to the question.
Instead of hiring and paying someone on fiverr or upwork they got you for free.
