yeah, It's not clear to me what their criteria could possibly be. Their own employees seemed to have scored decently well, while heavy weights did terrible.

I didn't even make their first tier at < 10k

I can't tell you the exact algorithm, but as we are searching for an intern to work together with us - we are definitely weighing some things higher than others.

Maybe it's a random number generator. I got 18k, and I barely know anything about the technologies listed at the bottom of the page.
