So first there were a few chats, then a calliper assessment. The calliper assessment is after one of the chats and it's like a pass/fail to see if you move on. After the calliper, there were more chats with different people on the team.

The interview and hiring process was very thorough. A CALIPER test was administered, and they really want to make sure you know and/or have invested interest in the sector you're applying for. They also asked about weaknesses, strengths, where you see yourself in 5-10 years, and organization skills. Overall, the questions were generic but they really want to make sure that you are committed.

It was a really drawn-out interview process. I think I talked to about 7 people on Zoom, and then I also went into the office for about 2-3 hours. The whole thing felt pretty inefficient, and they didn't make a decision on whether to reject me until the very end. The reason they gave wasn't very clear either.
