Of course companies should treat applicants well, but the Who Is Hiring threads aren't the right place to litigate specific cases.

What happened?

only company who asks to write multi page statement of purpose and motivation letters. and then reject you for non-technical reasons saying your motivation is not about the company but due to relocation to japan. interviewed with them couple times, and from other people I hear, it is the worst. do not recommend. save your time.

Thanks for sharing! Such comments are the main differentiator for these HN hiring posts.

I also see turnover rate is high, many people left company very quickly. as I see in Japanese SWE group chats. talk to past employees on linkedin. I suspect culture and management is not good.
