Yes. I put a ton of work into it. I had about 60 pages worth of notes. On inverse kinematics, FABRIK, cyclic algorithms used in robotics, A*/RRT for real-world scenarios etc. I was super prepared. Talked to the CEO for about two hours. Took notes on all videos I can find of team members on youtube and their company.
Luckily the hiring manager called me back and levelled with me, nobody kept him in the loop and he felt terrible about it.
Some stupid contrived dumbed down version of this crane demo was used for the live test where I had to build some telemetry crap. Nerves took over, mind blanked.
At this rate I'm probably going to starve to death before I get a job. Should I write a blog post about my last 2 years of experiences? They are comically bad.
This was for monumental.co - found them in the HN who's hiring threads.
This never happened to me in a job interview before I turned 40. But once I knew I was too old to look the part, and therefore and had to knock it out of the park, mind blank came roaring in. I have so much empathy now for anyone it ever happened to when I was giving the a job interview. Performing under that kind of pressure has nothing to do with actual ability to do the job.
I feel bad for you, and I support you in naming and shaming this company. It's just horseshit to jerk people around like that.
I hope you can at least leverage this demo. Maybe remove the identifications of it and shove it into your CV as a "hobby project"? It looks pretty good for that.
They probably think they are geniuses who "weeded out another AI guy!" High fives all around! It was a great process (for me) right up until it wasn't.

Best!
Thanks man, I'm pretty much forced to do exactly that.
Their hiring process seems absolutely absurd.
