There are so much bad hiring practices in our industry that I indeed choose to trust the rare companies that do it right over the ones that cargo cult Google brain teaser questions, make you implement quicksort on a whiteboard, give you a take-home project that will take you forever but they will hardly glance at, will stop replying to you because ghosting is good, ...

That's the first impression I get from an unknown company and I decided to trust it.

Most things are cargo cults anyway, I wouldn't worry too much.

This company doesn't seem to follow the ways of the cult though, that's the concern.
