I applied online, and the process took two weeks.

I was contacted personally by a recruiter after I clicked on an online advertisement. I was told to apply with a CV and cover letter because I could fit the profile they were looking for, et cetera. After some days, they sent me another email telling me I "should consider it an achievement in itself" that after a very deep screening of my resume, I was not eliminated by their amazing and impossible recruiting process. Later on, timed tests were sent with detailed instructions on how to do them and submit them. The first two tests were technical, and I felt I performed well. The bad thing was that the third was total psychometric crap, soaked with tricks and ambushes, and presented like you should be honest, but you don't get what they really want to know about you.

They ask you to perform three tasks for a total of five hours, and then you get a no-reply email in which they tell you to be polite and not bother them with asking for the detailed feedback they will never provide you. So it's just energy-consuming, with no regard for the person. Also, the fact that they start talking to you personally and then use a form to dismiss you is very unpleasant and careless. Furthermore, a selection process that dismisses you with a psychometric online assessment, making you lose so much time for nothing, is very disappointing.

Test a software.
