The first-round assessment consisted of fifteen objective and five descriptive questions, appropriate for entry-level candidates. A qualifying score was fourteen out of twenty. However, the evaluation process was flawed, with evidence suggesting intentional mis-scoring. The second round unexpectedly included advanced networking concepts typically associated with one-year or more experience, despite being an internship position. Ultimately, it became apparent that the company had a pre-existing commitment to a specific networking institution for candidate selection, resulting in the rejection of all applicants outside that institution.
