Process
I applied for Software Engineer positions with a referral and was given a Google Hiring Assessment, an online multiple-choice personality test, a week later.
I submitted the assessment the next day.
Questions
Various questions were asked about teamwork, integrity, and prioritization.
Some questions were clearly worded, but others were misleading or confusingly worded. I may have misinterpreted some of those, leading to points being deducted by the bot.
