I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cuvva
Interview
The actual first stage interview was fine, albeit it didn't seem like a remarkable tech team. I sent in a tech test where I was told I would receive feedback within a week. The line has since gone completely cold, and they have ghosted me. Avoid this company. Ghosting a candidate who has spent a day or so working on a tech task is completely unacceptable, and I genuinely can't believe we're still having to deal with this poor behaviour from companies.

Question 1
I can't remember it's been so long ago. Just avoid the company.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cuvva in Aug 2021
Interview
Unrespectful since from the start.
I've got first an email saying that I've got refused.
One week later, I've got another email asking for a chat (like what happened?)
Ok, then I've had a chat with the recruiter and they sent me a take home test.
The take home test is just horrible, with a really bad json and you have to solve all the problems in the front (something that could never happen in real problems).
Then, I've spent my time to make it, using good patterns of iOS, respecting the architecture they've proposed there, making good dependency injections and avoiding filtering with double for - using compactMap and filters, reusable and good codes.
What you get back? a horrible feedback, with not good arguments, really very weak explanations that would even break concepts of SOLID.
Really seems that the engineer of the other side is not able to recruit anyone, that hes expecting a template of a software that only he knows it and anything different he refuses. What a strange culture, proves its not a good place to work on.
Its a waste of time.

Question 1
Its a take home test, a really bad one with a bad architecture MVVM using combine and SwiftUI and you cannot change it, you have to complete some methods and thats it. If you change any struct or anything, you're refused. Its a waste of time.
