I’ve actually worked for them as an interviewer (no longer). They ‘try’ to make it a decent candidate exerience in my view, but are missing some obvious flaws in their approach. For example, they do “care somewhat” about code quality but you’d have to catch that from the subtle wording.

And I’ve seen entry level candidates demonstrate far above entry level skillsets and not pass the interview.

I also felt the experience was demeaning. When I asked the interviewer if I was allowed to execute the code, he wouldn't tell me yes or no. WTF? So if I don't run it, I might have a bug, but if do run it and they don't want me to, then that's a strike. I didn't run it, but went home and wrote it again, and in fact, it did have a bug. Oh, well. That experience turned me off from AWS. Their recruiters are hitting me up lately, but I'm ignoring them.

karat.io I believe. The Deliveroo interview I mentioned in the post was outsourced to them.
