After having a call with the recruiter and a manager I received a very extensive take-home assignment, which was not very clearly defined and a lot of work. I spent 4 hours to get a reasonable solution (more than that is not worth it for me for a job) and they didn't like my solution so I didn't get another interview. I would have liked to at least get a follow-up interview to explain my choices and discuss them, since there was quite some ambiguity in the assignment, and it seemed fair after putting in so much effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to build a fast, scalable API that can handle many requests.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ParkHere (Munich, Bavaria) in Jan 2023
Interview
totally unpleasant and uncultured interview. I was interrupted at the very start. They are looking for a software tester who will be a developer and a developer architect at the same time, who will establish a work process for them that they don't have now because they are a small team! If you apply to this company, be prepared to be upset all day and have a very uncultured interview. I would not recommend them to anyone!

Question 1
Are you able to implement a test automation framework and which?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ParkHere (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
The interview process started with an interview with chief of software where we discussed usual questions about my career about the job, we also discussed salary I gave a range and he confirmed that it was okay.
Second interview was with a Frontend engineer, it was a live coding interview, it was quite cool I enjoyed it I got a positive feedback on it and was asked for my availability for 3rd interview which I did. But then I was surprised to receive a mail saying that it’s not feasible and asking me for a lower amount. I did provide a lower amount but it seems that their threshold was far from my expectations.
So the last mail was that we should stop the process did and not going further. And got no response after it.
It was a waste of time, and completely unprofessional.
