So, this interview was a group thing with like 15 people applying. It was kinda weird because there were 6 different departments you could interview for, but I didn't even know what role I was actually going for. The stations were super quick, like 7 minutes each. You couldn't really talk about your experience much because they asked SAT-type questions instead of the usual behavioral or situational ones. I felt pretty good going in, but honestly, not so much when I left. Got the rejection email the same day. I tried asking for feedback to get better for next time, but they emailed back saying they couldn't give any. That really bugged me and felt unprofessional. I'm not mad about not getting the job, that happens, but the no feedback thing just left a bad taste.

Technical Behavioral
I had to do some online tests, including an intelligence test, advanced Excel and PowerPoint tests, and psychological tests. These tests were quite long and the Excel and PowerPoint parts were difficult. Then I had a video interview where I had to answer 7 questions, with only 30 seconds to respond to each, which felt a bit strange talking to my phone. The recruiter said I did well on the tests. I thought the interview went okay, the questions seemed pretty basic. After a week, I followed up, and then after 11 days, I got a standard rejection email. The whole experience felt stressful and impersonal, like a very clinical process. It felt like a waste of my time.

It was one remote-friendly in-person panel interview that lasted about 45 minutes. The hiring manager and some team members were there. They asked a bunch of questions, and I got to ask them questions too. They told me the decision within two days.

“You have 10 bags of M&Ms and a scale. One bag is a different weight, and you can only use the scale once. How do you identify the different bag?”
