I submitted an application online and received a quick response to set up a phone screen. During the phone screen, I spoke with an engineer who trailed off at the end of all of his questions and regular sentences, so it was hard to tell when he was done talking. When he asked me a question about OOP at the end of the call, he forgot what the correct answer was and was not sure if I was correct in my answer.

Following this phone interview, there was an immediate response to set up a test with ProcterU as well as a link to complete a personality test through rembrandtadvantage. As others have said, the ProcterU test includes:

• An IQ test
• A section where you learn a new coding language
• A technical assessment

The rembrantadvantage test takes about an hour. The ProcterU test takes around 3 to 4 hours, with the first thirty minutes being the IQ and learning a language section, while the coding takes the majority of the time.

That in total is five hours, during which you are not speaking to an actual person from the company. In addition, on the ProcterU test during the coding section, you are not allowed to go to the bathroom at all, which I found a bit absurd because of the length of it.

It has been over two weeks since I took the technical assessment. I finally sent an email to the recruiter asking what my status was, and it wasn't until sending that email that I finally got the rejection email.

Overall, I think this process reflects poorly on the company, and I don't plan on applying to work with them again in the future.
