Interview
1 - Call with recruiter
2 - Assessment Task
I got through to creating the assessment and spent a week working on it, only for them to never even bother checking the task. I was messaging the recruiter back and forth for a month, and never really heard back from anyone. On Figma, you can check who has been on the file and not a single person had checked the task I submit.

2 - Why you want to work here
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Carl Friedrik (Barcelona) in Apr 2024
Interview
After a quick phone call, I was scheduled for a video interview with one of the owners. He seemed quite uninterested, didn’t ask many questions, and the interview didn’t last more than 15 minutes. I wasn’t sure what didn’t meet his expectations, but it was clear I wouldn’t pass that stage. Shortly after the interview, I wrote back to ask whether I had moved to the next round and was informed that the answer was no. There was no explanation for the decision.
One year later, the position is open again. I’m not sure whether they lost the person they chose or if the whole thing was simply market research.
