alt Hacker NewsThey take forever to reply (2 months since my first email, meanwhile they regularly kept posting the job on HN) and after the initial call had me take a home assignment that I spent almost an entire day on, then went total radio silence again - not even a generic "sorry for the delay" or a rejection email. I see I'm not an outlier, given others' comments under their postings. I don't think the job's fake - they just really don't care about their candidates' time.

We're always looking to improve where we can to reduce any gaps in the process and to make sure no applications slip through the cracks.
I can't find any calls/interviews with your name and also can't find any submission from you on our code challenge[0] (which is the only take home task that we ask devs to do), but it may just mean that you've applied under a different name and GitHub profile than you have listed on the website in your about page/your HN username.
If you can reach out to me at david at serpapi.com and provide me with some more detail about your application I can try and find out what's happened here.
