Initial phone screen, followed by an exercise to implement GlobalSight software on Amazon Web Services,which isn't that straight forward, and can take you many days and cause a lot of frustration if you dodn't get it right the first time. Second assignment was to prepare a functional requirements document for a hypothetical localization project, which needed to include system diagrams etc. which again could take many days. They give you a week to complete this. I completed both these assignments excellent, putting in a lot to effort to be exceptional. They called me for an onsite interview and interviewed for almost 4.5 hours including the presentation I had to make explaining the assignments. They seemed very happy during my onsite interview as well and appreciated the effort I put in for all these. I paid 50 dollars for parking in SF downtown and incurred other expenses to make it to the interview. My only daughter's first birthday was around this time, and I let it go thinking I will do the assignments perfect, which was a terrible mistake from my part in retrospect. Anyway after all these and a few days after my onsite interview I get a email mentioning that I was one of the top candidates but they closed the position. I am assuming it has something to do with my H1B transfer( which I had requested in the initial screening itself) and nothing to do with my performance or skillset. I have nothing against the employer, but if there weren't serious about the position to be filled, they shouldn't have made a candidate go through all these, especially time consuming assignments. I regret the amount of time and effort I invested on this position and company, which was precious at that point of my career and life.
