The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at G2 (New York, NY)
Interview
They send an automated email with an online test that takes a minimum of an hour without reviewing your materials. The test doesn't have anything to do with the position you're applying to. The first section is an IQ test in the style of an SAT. The second section is a strange series of memory games with terrible instructions that mostly consisted of hitting "F" or "J," depending on what flashed on your screen. There are questions that require you to differentiate between white, light grey, dark grey, and black. If you decide to take the test, be aware of that. The third section is, for lack of a better phrase, an approximation to a personality test. I honestly considered stopping there because some of the questions are of questionable legality. * No part of the test had anything to do with the editing position I applied to. * I repeat, the test had nothing to do with the position. All it did was use up my time and give this company data on me that they only have questionable grounds to gather. Then, if you finish the test, you get an email a few days later. If they are going to go with such an automated system, they should figure out a way to automate checking qualifications before sending out the test. The interview process left a bad impression of the company, to the point where I wouldn't even use the company's services. Unless you really want to work there for some reason, I wouldn't waste your time applying.
The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at G2 (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I had to take a test measuring math skills, reading comprehension, and typing speed, etc., first before my phone interview and then again at my in-person interview.
The phone interview went well, and then I had an in-person interview at the office. I met one on one with everyone I'd work with, although I was asked a lot of the same questions by each of them. Everyone was friendly, and the interview was not conducted aggressively as at other places I've interviewed. They did appear to be looking for someone who would be a good fit for the company culture.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at G2 (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2018
Interview
It's probably the most impersonal, irrelevant process I've ever experienced. A person doesn't respond to your application. Instead, within hours of your submission, you get an automated response that tells you to go complete an hour's worth of tests! It's a long series of tests that include timed number sequence games and memorization, story problems and a few grammar exercises. Too few, I would argue, for this position. The end of the tests is a personality test which I would characterize as borderline illegal in its intrusiveness. The questions on this personality test include exercises such as rating how often you "anger easily" or "appreciate the arts." They repeat questions about how social you were in high school and whether you consider yourself outgoing. It's honestly absurd and insulting. I only finished it out of curiosity. But the fact that they don't even have a recruiter or a human being from the company talk to you before you spend an hour of your time on their psychobabble is a huge red flag.
