Was contacted almost immediately by the recruiter once submitting an application on LinkedIn. The recruiter booked a 30 minute call and described the hiring process in detail. Stage 1 is to complete a two assessments. The first is a 30 minute multiple choice questionnaire with 10 or so questions. The questions were very technical (better suited for a sales engineer). Although there were only 10 questions, each provided answer was almost completely correct, so you were tasked with finding a slight nuanced answer that either made it more true or false than the provided statement. The second assessment was a minute multiple choice Cognitive Aptitude Test. The recruiter told me that I should practice for this test in advance. I did look into examples of these tests and answered a few practice questions, but was in no way prepared for the actual assessment. HARD is an understatement. The individual questions themselves are all solvable but due to the number of questions (50) and limit of 15 minutes, there's simply no way to adequately answer enough questions correctly. I must have failed one or both assessments because I was not provided an opportunity to go to stage 2, which was to meet with the hiring manager. In all fairness, the exams could have been passed, had I actually dedicated several hours to practicing for the Aptitude Test. So yes, this is a LOT of a company to ask a candidate to do before even being extended an offer, but in fairness, they did warn me upfront about how difficult the test was.
