Interviewees beware: This was quite possibly the strangest and most frustrating interview process I have ever experienced, and I have been working and interviewing for well over a decade. As others have mentioned, it started with an online evaluation which seemed somewhat normal, (albeit annoying) but once someone from their recruiting team reached out to me, things started getting weird. I got a strange, vague email (full of typos and grammatical errors-red flag #1!) almost immediately from someone on their recruiting team, and agreed to speak with him on the phone. The conversation was odd, as he asked me a few additional questions, but mostly talked about himself and how great the company is. He clearly knew very little about what skills were actually required for the role they were filling, and basically told me that skills don't matter and they they hire based on personality alone. ( I found this particularly odd since the role required extremely specialized skills and expertise.) I decided to ignore my gut that something was off about the recruiter and their process and agreed to move forward with the phone portion of the interview process, which as others have mentioned basically entails you speaking with someone who asks you a series of questions that you have to answer off the cuff, and that they are not allowed to elaborate on. The whole thing was extremely awkward, as they ask you to draw on experiences from your professional and personal experience, and you end up having to get into some pretty specific details. Also, the entire conversation is taped. After spewing stories to a robotic stranger on the phone, she told me that her team would analyze the "interview" and that i'd hear back from them about next few days. When I finally did get a call back from the recruiter, he told me that my responses were "good", but that I just wasn't the personality type that they are looking for. Once again the conversation was extremely awkward, and I left it shaking my head, wondering how in the world they are going to fill a specialized role based solely on a strange personality test... As others have said, I almost felt as if they were using this process to collect data or to test some new tool, and that it might not have been a true interview. Either way, it was a bizarre experience and I'd highly advise interviewing at companies that don't put prospective candidates through such a strange and frustrating process.

The Interview process is overly long - a candidate has to go through multiply technical assessments and then after that, 3 rounds of interviews? Making candidates jump through too many hoops but treating them as disposable
