Quimbee Interview Questions
& Process

I applied for a position and after a few days, I got a writing assessment. I finished it on time, following the provided style guide and content rules. Studying these rules took about 90 minutes of unpaid work. Then, I spent several hours writing the case brief, making sure to follow all the style and content rules. After three weeks of no contact, I received a generic rejection email saying my submission wasn't chosen, with no other details. I'm surprised that after candidates put in 5-6 hours of unpaid work, they don't even get a personal message. I wonder if this is a way to get free content/labor from applicants. The whole experience was disappointing and felt disrespectful.

The interview was good and they asked relevant questions. However, they only contribute $300 towards health insurance and have very low salaries, unlike my previous company which paid $2500. This feels discriminatory towards older people, those with children, or those whose spouses have insurance. It seems they profit from people using their spouse's plan or being young and healthy. The interviewer made me feel isolated when I brought this up, saying they'd never had issues hiring people with families, despite not covering dependent health insurance, which 95% of companies do, on top of below-market salaries. I wanted to share this so future candidates don't feel abnormal for expecting benefits like significant contributions towards health insurance for their children, which I've had in my last 6 jobs. Given my diabetes and my 3 kids' asthma, I'd lose $24,000 or more after taxes, making it impossible to work here with medicine costs. This policy is unfair and discriminatory towards those who choose to have children, unlike most companies. The interviewer's reaction made me feel odd about raising this issue, which is a significant cost for employees with dependents or who are older. Their limit contribution is $300 per month for family insurance. They would need to pay $35-40k more pre-tax in salary to be comparable, unless they only hire people who don't need insurance. I'll remove this post if they change the policy. This policy is morally wrong and doesn't support raising the next generation.

It kicked off with a phone call, pretty chill. The person was cool and really clear about the job and the questions were super basic. Next up was an IQ Test and a skills test. Honestly, the skills test was a breeze, like super easy stuff for video editing. I didn't make it to the final round, but the whole thing was fast and smooth. They sent weekly emails to keep me updated, which was nice so I wasn't left wondering. I also really like it when entry-level jobs are actually for entry-level people, especially when you're just out of college.

I applied for a temporary, 6-month gig as a Legal Case Summaries Writer. About a week after applying, I got an email from HR to schedule a phone chat. Two days after that call, I was asked to do a writing skills test, where I had to draft a summary of a real case from a law school casebook, and also take a cognitive assessment test on ondemandassessment.com. The cognitive test was kinda weird, mostly basic math and logic puzzles with a time limit, and I'm not sure how it relates to the job, honestly. It felt like it might be unfair to some people. The writing test, though, was pretty much what I'd expect for this kind of job.
