In an onsite interview, I was given a one-page scenario of a project. The scenario involved updates from stakeholders, issues some teams were facing, and a request to take this information and devise an email update to senior management about the project.

Many of the questions focused on cross-team collaboration, communication, transparency, and problem-solving strategies. "Tell me about a time you worked with another team to solve a problem. Tell me about a time you used data to make a decision. Tell me about something you would have done differently and what you learned from the experience," etc. In general, I was glad to have spent some time reflecting on projects I'd worked on so I had good examples fresh in my brain.

Don’t waist your time applying to this company. They have no regards for your personal time! First step is to apply to the company as you do with any other company (resume, cover letter and references). After doing this, I was sent an email from the hiring manager letting me know that he reviewed my resume and application. After this, I was moved forward to the next phase of the hiring process which consisted of a formal written interview. After spending a day putting together a twelve-page comprehensive document and submitting the written interview as a PDF document anonymously, I was sent an email asking me to take a mandatory Psychometric assessment exam. I spent another forty minutes of my time taking this silly test (confident I did well on this exam). After spending more than ten hours between the application, written interview and online exam, I got an email this morning saying they reviewed my application and are not moving further with my application. I sent them a twelve-page document and they sent me two sentences letting me know that I was no longer being considered. They have no consideration for my time, not even a phone call. They should have to compensate me for all the time I committed to them when they just lob two quick generic sentences at me telling me that I am no longer being considered. What a joke! I was obviously qualified to make it to the written interview, and take their silly online exam, but don’t even warrant a phone call or email from a person. Your hiring process is terrible and you have lost out an outstanding, qualified, loyal candidate who would have been a valuable asset to your company for years to come. Your loss!
