Behavioral
After submitting my application, I had a HireVue behavioral assessment. I felt this was unfair as I wasn't sure if my resume would even be approved. They stated it would take 10 minutes, but it ended up being over 45 minutes. I don't recommend this stage, you would be better off using that time to apply for other jobs.
