I found the job posting on craigslist and send in an application. A few days later I received an email asking me to take an assessment test online. The test was mostly personality based, although the last, timed, half is devoted to logic questions. A couple of days after taking the test initially I was asked to take a proctored version of the test to verify that I didn't have anyone helping me. From there, I was invited to the office to do face-to-face interviews with 3 different people that lasted about 30 to 45 minutes each, culminating in an interview with the director of the current project. The recruiter kept in touch with me and a couple of months after the initial interview I was asked to take a separate assessment focused on inter-office politics/relations which ended up being the last part of the process.

I applied based on a referral and received an online IQ test a couple of days later along with some personality questions. I was then invited to set up a phone interview with a hiring manager. The person I spoke to was friendly and the interview went well from my perspective. At the end she started talking about going forward to tour the facility, meet with manager, and pay options, which while low, were fair for entry level imo. Then she told me I'll hear from them in 5 days. Fast forward to 10 days later, I still haven't heard anything. So, I email the person I had interviewed with to see how it was coming along. A few hours letter I receive a cookie cutter letter informing me that the position had gone to another candidate. I don't understand how it took them a full 5, let alone 10 days to decide that or to notify me, and ultimately, I came out of this experience thinking what an absolute waste of time this was. Apply to another company that actually understands the significance of timetables.
