Juste ridicule! Le premier retour à ma candidature a été un courriel automatique, signé par qqn qui n'affichait pas ni son titre ni ses coordonnées : j'aurais eu que 3j pour passer un test avec l'excuse suivante
"There are two goals we want to achieve with this exercise:
1) give you an idea of day-to-day activities for the given position, and
2) help us understand how you would perform these tasks to evaluate the fit."
En réalité il s'agissait d'un marketing plan avec tout détail (comme déjà mentionné par des autres), 2 questions de pure math appliquée à une transaction banale (taux de conversion de devise et calcul de marge) et la 4e pour les attentes salariales. Au-delà du manque absolu de côté humain, si c'était pour me donner une idée du taf du Country Manager au quotidien, alors ça ne m’intéressait pas du tout. Je n'ai donc pas fait le test finalement, mais 2 semaine plus tard, voici la magie!!!
Thank you for taking your time and completing the exercise. We evaluated your answers and it was really difficult decision for us but we've made the decision to not move forward at this time. We simply decided to move forward with candidates that we believed are more aligned with Cambly's current goals.
Merci de quoi? évaluation quoi au juste? C'est juste ridicule! Comme on le dit dans les avis passés, LES VRAIS avis... à propos de goals, ce gens ne sont pas là pour embaucher qqn, c'est juste pour voler du temps et des infos aux candidats. En tout cas c'est évident du début : on n'approche pas un possible Country Manager d'une façon si cheap et ringarde! Bien joué! Très belle première impression à donner aux candidats!

Overall, the interview process was smooth. It took about two months from the initial touch till the offer. Early on, the lead coordinator made it clear that they are pretty selective for the role. It would take multiple rounds of interviews and might take some time till the process is finished. Since I was super excited about the role, I made myself ready for this.
As expected, there were multiple rounds of interviews apart from an exercise. The interviewers were casual, friendly but also were quite thorough. The interview format and flow were quite different based on the personalities of the interviewers. It looked to me that each of them was testing for certain traits or skills or areas. The hand-off from one step to another during the process was smooth. Some of the interviews were quite intense but friendly.
It is crucial to go to Cambly interview with an understanding of its product and mission. The interviewers will generally tie back many questions and your answers back to Cambly. If you are not ready for this, you will find it hard.
Overall, the interviews were casual and friendly but thorough.

Initially, there was an exercise you need to complete offline. It was around growing the business and the tactics you would use.
Generally, other questions would be around:
- Marketing Strategies
- Testing your analytical abilities
- Culture fit questions
A very hands-on and collaborative process. Realy gives you an opportunity to get to know the company culture better and ask questions. It included people from different countries which required a lot of comfort speaking English.
