The first step was the interview with the hiring manager, it was fine. Then I was invited to a Codility test with algorithms, it was pretty standard and not particularly difficult. The next step was an hour-long call with IT people from Picnic. Was asked to describe my professional experience, we discussed my previous projects, etc. Then they asked me to implement a pseudocode-like solution ("this dictionary is your database" kind of nonsense) to some poorly specified business problem ("here's the hypothetical external API and we have to use it to update prices in the database, get to it"). There was nothing hard about it, but it was too vague and pointless. The communication from their end was not good either, even seemed toxic in the end (like my fate has already been decided and they couldn't wait to get off the call).
First is interview with a hiring manager to get to know you, general get to know you questions. Then, they give you a home assingment to see if your technical skills match with the team.
Applied online. Had a call with a recruiter. Just normal HR questions like what's your background, why do you wanna work here, and why do you wanna leave your current company.
I rambled a little, but I thought that was ok. Got a rejection two days later. I thought they could give me a chance to pass the technical questions and talk about these things in the engineering manager interview.

Question 1
Normal HR questions like why do you wanna leave your current company
Applied online, heard back from them about a week later. After the HR review, they sent an email a few days later about the rejection. They said that they need more experience on some of the technologies they are using.
