I went through 3 interviews. First, a phone call with HR. Then, I talked to the person currently doing the job, and finally, I met with the hiring manager. HR kept me in the loop the whole time about when the next steps would be.

After I applied, they sent me an email asking me to do a video interview where I had to answer questions and also do some games to check out my personality. I spent like 4 hours getting ready for the question part, but then I never heard back from an actual person.

I suspect the job opening is fake, and left open in case someone knocks their interview ratings out of the park. - where the requested rating levels are set so high that only a perfect score gets through, if at all. Or its fake to make it look like to current employees and the market that they are hiring when in actuality they are not. Had their AI video interview where you answer pre recorded questions within a set amount time, but you can re-record your answer, and then an AI interprets your 'characteristics'. Along with a game to analyze your memory and spatial skills after the video answer part. THEN HEARD NOTHING. Not even the "thanks but no thanks" email. So I'm thoroughly not impressed with Lumen and its hiring team. You are able to see what the AI thinks of your characteristics.

- Tell me about a time you advocated strongly for something, faced resistance, and what happened in the end.
