I applied online and then did a Q&A application which took about an hour. After that, I received a 30-minute test which I also completed. A few days later, I got another 90-minute assessment that included an audio recording, which I did too. Ten days after that, I got a generic message saying they weren't moving forward with my application and couldn't give feedback. So, in total, I spent over 3 hours providing ideas at a fast pace, but they couldn't even send personalized feedback. They cited the high number of candidates (over 400), but when you conduct so many screenings, you should offer tests that allow for proper feedback. Otherwise, it seems like a way to get new ideas without hiring. They don't seem to respect your time or professionalism, so I won't apply again, which is a pity!

After they accepted my cover letter, they wanted me to move on to the next step. They emailed me their interview process, and while I appreciate that, it seems like a lot of work and not very personal. They say their goal is to hire based purely on work quality and reduce bias, but asking someone to do over 10 hours of unpaid work, including a written assignment and other timed projects, will probably scare away good candidates, especially since their salaries are just average for the market. I decided not to continue after seeing their first steps. If their goal is diversity, looking at their website's team page shows they're not really achieving it. There are better ways to reduce hiring bias and get a diverse talent pool without making applicants do so much work. In fact, harder hiring processes can actually make it harder to recruit a diverse team. When a hiring manager uses a long, impersonal, exercise-based application, it suggests they want to hire with minimal effort and don't value the candidate's time and effort.

The process was very long and took a long time for each step. It wasn't a very positive experience. Some questions were more like discussions about the job you haven't started yet, so it was difficult to answer questions about work that hasn't started yet.
