Acing a recruitment task? Get ready to be rejected!
I'm done, guys. In April, I sent an application for a Fullstack Python Developer internship at Samsung R&D.
After (allegedly) reviewing my CV, they decided to invite me to a test assessing my technical skills:
Great! I indeed got the e-mail with the invitation link soon after:
So I managed to find some time and solved the test the same day, fully focusing for ~90 minutes.
Here are the results I got:
Please note that correctness was the only and key factor in the assessment.
It was explicitly stated in the test description that nobody was going to review my code.
I cannot provide a screen as it's not available to me already, since I completed the assessment.
Happy that I did it, I waited the next 18 days to get hit with this:
Seriously, Samsung? 100% being "not sufficient"?
Can you believe I had to write this e-mail?

It's probably just an automatic email which is sent to people who didn't make a cut.
Why you didn't make a cut...
There could be many reasons.
Maybe they had like 5 slots and there were 6 people with 100%.
Some manager changed their mind and said that they don't need an intern.
Or maybe they just don't want to bother with people from other countries?
Why hire intern from other country if you can just get one from here(even if their score is less than yours)?
(Unless I am ignorant, and they have office in Poland).
Either way, bit tech is harsh.
Good luck, the times are tough. :(
