Very odd interview wherein the lead engineer gave an overview of the architecture and systems the team uses and then explained issues with their configuration and engineering practices and asked how I would fix problems or better handle processes. Lead admitted that the team was learning as they go and may not have implemented best practices or had the skills to do so. Also could not explain how they tested their application and infrastructure through a normal CI/CD process. Major red flags. - For some reason I continued on with the process and was given a take home assignment to build an application incorporating a leetcode style algorithm. In addition, configure and create architecture diagrams for a very specific use case the team works on. After successfully writing the algorithm and application, along with diagrams, I was followed up shortly with a decline to move forward because my expectations did not align with their expectations.
