I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Automated Insights in Dec 2019
Interview
I applied for this position and got an email from HR the next day wanting to set up a phone screen. We had the phone screen and it went well— most of it was HR telling me about the position and having me explain my background. At the end of the interview, she said she was going to send me a link to an aptitude test and a personality test and to take it within 3 days. You had to be on video talking both of the tests and send it when you were done. The test had 50 questions and I believe you only have 15 minutes (no calculator allowed). The test is supposed to measure your problem solving skills and your ability to think under pressure. It was very difficult and some of the questions were absurd. I heard back that I didn’t make it to the next potion of the interview, so I am assuming I didn’t pass a pointless aptitude test that asked me which odd shape came next in the sequence. I was perfectly qualified for the job, but I’ll never get a shot to show it.
Their HR person reached out to me about the position on LinkedIn. Once I confirmed interest, we spoke by phone to see if it was mutually a good fit. I was then invited to take an Assessment Test: the test is split between a Cognitive portion and a Personality portion. It's timed and video recorded. The cognitive portion is highly analytical and requires study prep to perform at your peak. You're told the main goal is to complete the test within the time limit (as opposed to get as many answers correct as possible). I spent a significant amount of time preparing and taking the test, and was left with a very poor impression of the company when they failed to close the loop with me afterwards. My advice to Automated Insights: Don't ask your candidates to take you seriously enough to take an IQ exam, if you're not going to have the courtesy to take them seriously enough to send a follow-up rejection letter.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Automated Insights
Interview
Application process took 2-3 weeks and included 2 phone interviews, 1 personality test, 1 CCAT test, and a ~3-6 hour coding challenge. Unfortunately, ai appears to be yet another company that does not value their applicants' time and, after going through this whole process and submitting my coding challenge, I received an email stating that they had decided to fill the need internally and would not be hiring for this position after all. They even had the nerve to tell me I should watch their job boards because they would likely list the position again in the next quarter. I would never apply to a company again that has so little respect for their applicants' time. No, ai, I am not sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting for you to post another job.

Question 1
The coding challenge was to create a full game called "Hi-Lo" (you can google that game to get the rules). It needed a user interface and had a few other requirements.
