I was recruiter via LinkedIn and this is what the process looked like 1. HR Phone Interview - typical call asking about my background. Note that the person I talked to on the phone was different than the person I was emailing back and forth with at the time 2. Skills Assessment - They give you 3 assignments and you have up to 4 hours to complete, these can be done outside of regular work hours. One is a 15 minute math challenge with 15 questions. It was like taking the SATs all over again. The other two were SQL questions and a case study 3. Zoom Call with Hiring Manager - talked about my experience and asked why I wanted to join skillz. They asked a lot about the product and games themselves 4. Second Round Interview - I was told to come into the office for five interviews. Four out of the five interviews were via a zoom link so I already thought that was weird that they physically wanted me to come in. I did the first 3 interviews and then was scheduled for a lunch break. After lunch I go back to the meeting room where someone from HR comes in and tells me that “they are done here.” I tried to ask why but they wouldn’t answer and just told me that the interview process is over and to call the recruiter I had been talking to. I asked if I could take the call in the meeting room and they said no, you have to take it in the lobby. I take the call and there is absolutely zero feedback, just the classical answer that they are moving forward with other candidates. After I get off the call the HR person watches me leave the building. I was treated as if I was stealing something?? oh yah they also asked for my username on the platform. Which i thought was super weird?? Thankfully I never created an account and it was just a guest account I had been using. Overall, I am super disappointed that interviewing with companies has come to this. I don’t understand how they can treat candidates with so much disrespect and get away with it. Will never apply here again, and would not recommend to others.

Reading other reviews I now believe they are doing market research and are probably not in earnest looking to hire but gather data. They expect you to spend 3-4 hours on a project on top of all the other interview rounds and quant test.
