The process is unbelievably unnecessarily long. It makes sense that you want to vet candidates for the right fit, but before you can be considered you have to take a long arduous personality test with a math section - apparently you need to take your SATs prior to obtaining a role that doesn't require math that you can't do with excel or a calculator.
I had my first phone interview the week before memorial day - but didn't have the follow-up phone interview until July 3rd. Then the in-person interview was the last week in July . So 8 weeks between my initial phone screen and my in-person interview?
My in-person interview was ALL DAY - 6 or 7 people, one at a time. Quite overkill in my opinion - and some of the people didn't even appear to be people you would be interacting with. Then at the end - after talking for 7 hours, I had to do an HR case study - and the amount of math involved (without anything other than a calculator) was not applicable to this role - no matter what they may think. The situation wasn't real-world. You will for sure have more than 45 minutes to determine the percentages you will use to spend a million dollars of the company's money in a real world situation. I think having a discussion of what your process would be is enough. Even people with horrible math skills (which I dont have - i know how to add and use excel) can navigate how to spend a million dollars when you have all the facts and an excel spreadsheet. But saving this until the end of a grueling day of interviewing was not ideal. And it says nothing about a person's stamina. This was just ridiculous overkill and not indicative of who will come out the best candidate. If I have learned anything from 15 years in HR is that going to these lengths to weed out undesirable candidates usually always backfires.
Long story short - this should have just been a panel interview.
and when I reached out to HR about some other questionable aspects of my interview experience, someone asked me a good time to speak, I responded, but he never replied. Which is a sad reflection on their HR department. But I guess they will learn when someone else similarly situated sues.
I will say this - the campus is gorgeous, the people there seem genuinely happy to be there, and the interview floor and amenities were quite nice.
