I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Scybers in Apr 2025
Interview
Had 3 rounds of interviews — HR screening, a technical round, and finally a take-home task.
Everything went smoothly until the last round. The take-home assignment had 3 complex scenarios. Although I was told not to spend more than 2 hours, each scenario realistically needed 3+ hours. I ended up spending nearly 12 hours completing it.
Later, I realized this task was likely actual client work being outsourced to candidates. The company never provided any feedback and completely ghosted me.
Very unprofessional and unethical behavior. In hindsight, I’m relieved I didn’t end up joining them.
