After applying online, I had a 30 minutes call with a person from HR. She sent me a simple data science project in which I had to predict the misplacement of English articles (a,an,the). The project came with a readme explaining that for the evaluation metric a value of 0.5 was very good, while the best ever value was close to 0.8. I built a working system that achieved 0.55 in only two days and submitted the project. Never heard back from them for two weeks, and after a lot of anxiety I asked for an update and got the default email telling that I was rejected. If all that they wanted was something close to 0.8, why bothering to say that 0.5 is very good? My advice for future applicants is to aim for the maximal value you can get. This seems like a good company to work, but I am very disappointed with this interview processing.

I was given a take-home coding task which was definitely not a typical interview task, but rather a real work project. Producing the simplest solution took me 8 hours, I didn't mind doing it just out of curiosity. After I submitted my solution, I got no feedback, just an automatic response that I don't fit.
