I gave a recruitment assessment in Accenture and at the end of it the submission but got a 504 gate way error and i got disqualified for the next steps.

Yeah the title is pretty much the whole story, Recently i gave a technical plus coding assessment for Accenture (Associate software engineer) and then i came forward with the coding assessment, i kid you not it was the most easiest assessment i have ever seen in my life. That's maybe because i have improved since college but still it was very easy that i felt something was off (my life is tragic so i get surprised if something good comes up). So there i was happy to finish the test in 15 mins and 30 minutes left to spare, i even re-checked the code i have written 2-3 times (first time i have re-checked something). It was all good and i even tested using my own custom inputs. Worked absolutely amazing. But then i clicked the submit button in their "Secure Exam Browser" and after 2 mins i got a error of 504. I enquired about this from a chatbot and candidate support but all they could say was to wait for the company's response and guess what the response was. You have been disqualified for not performing well in the coding assessment. I know in these things I don't have any control over but that what's makes me angry that a error in a company's created browser specially for the exam or assessment gets a error for that particular usage .... Like wow I would appreciate someone from Accenture to just make this logical for me. (Let me know if anyone wants to know the questions, i promise you will laugh at it.)

Weave Company- Unprofessional Interviewer

Sharing my interview experience for grapvine audience. I applied to this company called Weave for Software Engineer role. 1. Recruiter call was very good 2. Coding round 45mins - a. Interviewer wasted 30mins Asking irrelevant questions for the coding round. b. Asked why my current company uses AWS instead of other cheaper cloud providers like GCP, Azure etc, as if I am CTO at my employer. c. Asked Hr questions like why I am looking for switch and what is my tenure at current company, it was totally irrelevant to coding round. d. Asked manipulative question to frame me, "What is the strength of my current engineering team?", I answered 5 engineers, SDE2, staffs etc. He then put his narcissistic comment "If I don't consider EM and PMs as a strength of the team" as in strength-weakness manner. e. Wasted 30mins in these BS questions and then gave a coding question which I solved with working code and he was satisfied with it. f. I was already shocked by his un-professional behaviour, to add to it he extended another 15mins to interview by asking follow up tech questions. g. I knew it's something wrong with this interviewer, then he started asking from which place in the country I am from. I was not in a mood take anymore of his BS, so I gave vague answer mentioning my State in India, he yet started pressuring me to tell exact city. Don't know how this interviewer was a senior engineer at that company with such foolish behaviour. Even after coding a working solution and acknowledgement by interviewer. I got rejection email saying "rejected due to my coding round". I ain't taking such BS and un-professional behaviour, so I reported entire interview details to recruiter and Head HR of that company, it's totally unacceptable for interviewers to waste time of candidates with their incapability, bias and un-professional behaviour. I got response that they will look into this matter internally and such behaviour is totally not acceptable
