You'll never get feedback on rejection during this company's interview process in my experience.

Did you ask? We can usually give some feedback. That said, we are still improving our hiring workflow -- I have my own list of pet peeves. We've gone from dozens to thousands in a few years; turns out it's easier to scale software than hiring. Edit: speaking of asking, I asked some more about our feedback. Sometimes it's hard to give specific feedback, sometimes it's not easy to be tactful, sometimes the interviewer…

I was informed by a recruiter that they aren't hiring in 2015 anymore so this post is a bust.

They reject people for debatable reasons such as "communication skills." Don't apply here.

How is this a debatable reason? If they have you working for a client, and you can't communicate with the client effectively, that's a completely valid reason for rejection. Full disclosure: Former employee of Metova, and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with them.

It's debatable if one has "good communication skills" or not. This is what I'm saying. If you talk to someone different they would have a completely different viewpoint on your "skills." Nothing objective in that. Plus, you can't really judge how well you talk with a client in an interview since the interviewer is not a client of the company.
