Process

I had my first round with HR. It was a profile discussion.

My second round was a logical reasoning test, which went well. It was conducted on a call, with a link shared by the person on the call. It lasted for 18 minutes.

The third round was a qualifying test with 3 questions. It was rated as medium.

After that, I received an email stating that my logic test score was not up to the mark. Firstly, I knew my test went well. Secondly, if the logic test was a deciding criterion, why did you proceed with the third round of coding tasks? Thirdly, filtering candidates solely based on a logic test isn't the right criterion for a Software Developer role.

I believe they wanted to hire a candidate willing to accept a lower salary.

HR had told me the salary range was around 70k euros.

Overall, the process was fine, but the reason given to me – that the logic test score was not up to the mark – was incorrect.

Questions
