I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Maven Securities in Apr 2021
Interview
A recruiter applied with my profile to them and shortly after, I got a Codility test link with 2 questions for 2.5 Hours. The test was of average difficulty and time was sufficient as well.
I finished BOTH the problems with 100% scores as per Codility test result. but they later sent me a rejection e-mail! No idea what went wrong.
