Standard interview questions, then a Personality Test and CCAT. The CCAT was totally insulting. It had algebra, word math problems and spatial recognition. You have 8 seconds to answer each question. It is a deal breaker for Infoblox. It is also completely irrelevant to my work. If you hire the same mindset, you only create cookie cutter employees who don’t come up with dynamic solutions.

The interview process was negative. My recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and wanted to proceed with me after our initial call. I was quite happy to know about the next steps. However she went silent on me for almost a week. I had to email and send her a LinkedIn DM to follow up. Turns out she forgot to loop me in that people are away for the week for a conference, which I wasn't informed of. So we finally scheduled my first phone call to the one of the individuals under People Experience and Development. They didn't show up and I left after 13-14 minutes. I think at that point if a company doesn't uphold high standards in recruitment or value my time, I think that's a red flag. That tells me there are deeper issue's with the company's culture or priorities. A candidate's experience is a first impression of the company. If it's poor I would suspect the rest of it going poorly. I have values and I respect time of other's as well as my own. I would expect the someone at People Experience and Development to understand that the candidate experience is important especially an End-To-End experience.
