KAYAK interview questions

I applied a couple of months ago. Feedback for an initial call with the HR came in a timely manner. The call with the HR lasted about 10 minutes. I wasn't asked anything really. The call was just about explaining the company, the team set-up and the requirements for the job. A few days later I received another invite for a call with the team lead. After that call I received a task to complete as a Google Presentation. At the same time an appointment was set up for presenting my case. After nearly finishing the assignment, the appointment for presenting it and having the personal interview, the appointment was cancelled. The reason for this was not really mentioned. I was just told that something came up and that they will get back to me. I followed up several times and they just told me that they can't give me an update yet. Around 3 weeks past like this. Then I seen that the job is not online anymore. So again, I asked about the status of my application. Finally, they told me that the position is on hold and that they might come back to me next year... Therefore, I'm really disappointed in how they treated me: Canceling short notice after already working on their task, keeping me not updated and that I had to insist of getting feedback.

Alex, HR person was great, he gave me a lot of information and was really helpful in providing information and during the Skype interview. I completed the exercise they gave me 1 HTML CSS navigation bar menu, and 1 Node.js class creating exercise, 3rd was Java exercise very tricky and moderately heavy. I did not mention anything about java in my CV, nor the position required one, but still they sent me Java coding exercise. I done all three of them substituting Java solution with Node.js one. I was surprised with the rejection because of the stuff like: Css content was too static, and second exercise did not work on our end. They did not gave any instructions about responsiveness and details of the exercise yet they judged me according to that. They are not concentrated on seeing the bigger picture, I was surprised that they didn't asked me anything about my choices or specific things I did or did not do in my code, so for me they are not concentrating on a person, or how do programmer approach things, they ae solely concentrated on a end result, get from mind reading of their thoughts. This criticism is more on their development team not seeing the bigger picture about reviewing code of future employees. They seemed to be the another one in the line of concentrating to find another Mark Zuckerberg than to build a cohesive team.
