Every company should send a rejection notice if they aren't gonna proceed after they interview you. Even if it's a form letter they just hit a button and have auto-emailed.
But if you take a test (coding test, writing test, whatever) for them? Then they abso-fucking-lutely should do this. It should not be a week after I interviewed and then spent a weekend on what was probably about ten hours of work on a writing assignment without hearing word.
This is bullshit.
You can spend two minutes to either acknowledge receipt, let me know you won't proceed, or scheduling the next interview.
Some companies take weeks to make a decision on who is going to move forward, especially if they have something intensive like that. You might not be out of luck yet!
During the phone interview I was told I'd hear back 'a couple days' after I sent in the test.
It just always reminds me of this time when I was being walked out after this interview and the guy went on, at length, about how I would absolutely, definitely, hear from them and gosh, he hates it too when companies never let you know and he would personally make sure I heard back one way or another and...
I mean this fucker went on for a good two, three minutes about how he would absolutely follow up, whether it was good news or bad.
I never heard anything.
