Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

While we acknowledge that this was your interpretation of the process, we disagree with several characterizations made in this review and would like to provide additional context.

At exmox, we intentionally operate in a high-performance environment that prioritizes growth, ownership, and the ability to solve complex challenges. We are transparent about these expectations from the very beginning of our hiring process. Our assessment tasks are designed to reflect the complexity of the work candidates would encounter in the role and allow us to evaluate relevant skills in a structured and standardized way.

Before opening a position, hiring criteria, interview stages, and evaluation frameworks are aligned internally and linked to the competencies and performance expectations we use throughout the employee lifecycle. This ensures consistency, fairness, and comparability across all candidates.

Regarding the design challenge, the assessment was benchmarked thoroughly before being introduced into our process. The vast majority of candidates who complete this stage do so within the communicated timeframe. While individual experiences may vary, we do not share the view that the exercise represents the equivalent of a full product redesign project.

We also provide candidates with feedback on their assessments and evaluate not only technical capabilities but also collaboration, communication, and openness to feedback throughout the hiring process.

As for the role being placed on hold, this decision was the result of organizational changes and shifting business priorities. While such situations are unfortunate for everyone involved, they are sometimes unavoidable in fast-growing companies.

Finally, we strongly reject the suggestion that candidate assessments are used to collect product ideas or redesign concepts. Candidate exercises serve one purpose only: evaluating relevant competencies for the role. This claim does not reflect our hiring practices, our values, or the high ethical standards by which we operate.

We wish you all the best in your future career and thank you again for your interest in exmox.

Thank you for your rating. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. While we’re glad the application process was "ok", we’re perfectionists and thoughtful, constructive feedback plays a big part in that.

If you ever feel like sharing more about what we could improve, my door is always open. We’d love to learn from your perspective and continue evolving.
