Ask HN: What has melted your brain recently?

That just sounds like an attempt to save both of you time (elapsed time, from interview to offer, not time spent) in case your phone interview did do well.

After the phone interview, somebody needs to write it up, a hiring committee needs to look at it, and then they can decide whether to move forward or not. If they give you the challenge after that it's easily another week.

Frankly I am surprised they gave you a full response on Monday after a phone interview Friday, that's actually quite fast given all the steps and people involved.

I went and looked up the emails. I submitted my code challenge at 9:45pm on Sunday central time and received the response at 2:18am Monday. Couple hours, and a strange time to get a response. I suspect the recruiter was not US based.

Given that the job was supposed to be west coast based, I have to imagine they’d made their decision on Friday.

Probably an auto rejection.

Would've been courteous to get a decision back to the candidate on Friday. Somebody didn't care enough.
