plenty of us are married with kids, weird extrapolation. you spent more time debating this on hn than you could've spent on our challenge. i'll chalk it up as bad prioritization :)

I did the Android take home last year and built it with full MVI, Compose, and unit tests and was rejected because the reviewer didn’t like the default animation between screens. Please tell us more about how Ramp respected my time!

Sure thing: by not putting you through the rest of the interviewing process that takes 5 more hours :)

LaunchDarkly - Remote First - HQ in Oakland, CA $3.2 billion valuation, Series D https://launchdarkly.com/careers/ Software Engineer, Data Products (SF Bay Area) Senior Product Manager, Core (Remote) General Manager, Core (SF Bay Area)

Only 3 out of 10 open jobs are Remote and 2 of them happen to be Account Executive responsibile for specific regions, so is it still "Remote First"?

When you say remote within the EU, does this also include countries like Norway, Switzerland, and the UK?

SerpApi needs to improve their hiring process, I've also seen others complain here on HN, where they would give you a software engineering test and just go silent after it's done. Not even a rejection email, and when you reach out to recruiters/other software engineers there is always radio silence I am just adding this comment here, because I've seen this comment added on other threads and they haven't done anything…

Sorry about that experience! We usually stop replying to people that gave us obvious red flags during the process. And our policy is to not reply back to share these red flags anymore. In the past, some people unfortunately can get outright aggressive when you try to share these. Email me directly at julien _at_ serpapi.com and I can see where you are at.

Hey @hartator,

I felt the need to talk about my experience with SerpAPI's hiring process because, quite frankly, it was no good.

First off, I was super excited when I applied at SerpAPI. I really wanted to be part of what you are building. I worked for 10 hours non-stop on the challenge you set up, even with my brother visiting after not seeing him for 2 years. But my excitement turned into confusion when I got no response - not once, but twice.

You mentioned "obvious red flags", which simply doesn't add up. Despite offering numerous referrals from past jobs and delivering work that is deserving of at least a reply, it feels as though I am being overlooked. My conversations with others who have also applied to your organization reveal a similar experience of being disregarded. Respect and clear communication matter significantly to me, being neurodiverse, and while your attempts to keep things simple are acknowledged, these are not mere extras - they are fundamental. Companies such as Basecamp comprehend this need but my experiences suggest SerpAPI doesn't. Your silence paints a negative picture that contrasts with the image of SerpAPI you aspire.

I know you can make things better. Start by recognizing the hard work, and responding to applicants. We are not just forms on your website; we are individuals with genuine interest, deserving of respect. Also consider focusing more on candidates already deeply engaged with open-source.

Best of luck to you and your company.

Well, that's not "remote anywhere".

updated. we're currently primarily looking at US, Canada, and Argentina and always exploring other options

Just curious whats stopping your company to hire worldwide, Is it just timezone or local laws/regulations?
