I did not have as many times as I wanted. I had one chance per question, no re takes. What's fucking hilarious is my reference was more important than the fucking screener. I got fired by a company for budget concerns supposedly but not on bad terms and this company contracts with them and apparently the hiring manager called my former engineering manager and I got a good word so to the top I went. Fucking hate the stain of AI.

no re takes

That's garbage. That's def an option someone selected, to not allow re-takes. Hopefully they just didn't understand the impact and course-correct if they use it again.

Knowing the workflow for mine was unlimited retakes made me feel a bit better, though I still didn't like the tool. So the person who chose to record from the phone with their camera shooting up their nose had every opportunity to rethink that choice. The person who opened and closed with a string of expletives chose to hit "submit'.
