really bad process

We schedule a first stage interview. reschedule... I did not mind.

I reschedule the second stage interview due to technical difficulties. All good.

I sent emails asking for the content and methodology of the technical interview. No answers.

The day of the technical interview I was asked to code a simple Fibonacci function in my preferred coding language. After working and studying the whole day I could not finish it.

I have 14 years of experience as a software engineer ,but having a gap (time) in my resume. I asked where to send my certificates and translated degrees.
And my communication skills were also questioned...
worked 4 years in Customer Service in Australia including high risk environments and IT development.

now they reply:

"
We appreciate the time you’ve invested in the vetting process. Unfortunately, you did not pass. We are looking for candidates who have:

-A complete application
-Significant work experience
-Effective communication skills
-Proficient technical skills"

not happy at all with the process.

"we are so sorry, but because you could not finish this wall, we can not believe you are an architect"

very basic and 1 way communication

also...
My technical interviewer has the worst English pronunciation ever

Supportive through Project life cycle

So far, I have completed 2 projects with Arc and the experience has been great. They support their devs all through the project life cycle.
Finally, I've always received my payments on time; just as promised.

Been working with arc as a software engineer this whole 2023 at one of their clients, and it has been an amazing opportunity.

Fulfilling Freelance Work!

I've been with Arc since 2018 and I've worked on a range of projects with Arc clients. I freelance on top of my day job so I was not interested in finding roles that felt like yet another set of chores to do after work. With Arc, I was able to find opportunities to solve fun engineering challenges and expand my professional skills and network. Arc also provided me an outlet to work in roles beyond my usual job title as an engineer. I've been able to build online courses, work with startups, perform live interviews with an audience of thousands of users, and mentor new engineers. Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with the Arc platform and the teams that keep it running.
