I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PlainID (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Dec 2021
Interview
Overall disrespectful process.
I applied online, and they sent me a home assignment via email ( they didn't even bother to call first).
First of all, the task was way too long. I was requested to implement an API for Pokemon battles, written in Java.
Secondly, they didn't mention the deadline for submitting the task so I tried contacting them but they didn't even add a phone number for contact, just via email.
So I sent an email asking how long do I have to submit the task, but my email got ignored.

Write an REST API for Pokemon battles. Add unit tests as well.
Required tech stack to use: Java 8, Spring Boot, Spring Boot test suite, H2 in memory DB.

Interview
Applied and received a screening test home project, no specific deadline. Implement RESTful API in Java Spring. Finished in three days and got rejected for minor pitfalls ignored partially, ignoring the bonus part and the face that everything worked fine.
