This hiring process should be a gag in a Simpsons episode, not a real thing people have to go through. One of the worst interview processes I've ever been in. They expect candidates for an ENGINEERING role to answer 26 questions like "Were you a top student? On what basis would you say that?". Putting the questions into google brings up websites where candidates have paid others to write the answers for them. Having every candidate they shortlist fill out this huge questionnaire only to reject most of them is VERY disrespectful of the candidates' time, They use "Hiring from a global talent pool" as an excuse but several other companies also hire from the same pool without sending engineering candidates long "creative writing" assignments. The least they can do is have a human in the loop and conduct an interview where they go over some of these questions (and probe deeper when necessary). And other employees can then review a recording of the interview to reduce bias but they will NEVER DO THIS because waste their employees' time that they pay for and the unpaid candidates' time.
