I was referred for a job at Rokt and received a message from the recruiter to schedule a phone call.

During the call, the recruiter mentioned that the first step would be an assessment with 50 questions to be completed in 15 minutes.

Initially, I wasn't too worried, as it was an aptitude test, mostly consisting of math and IQ-like questions, such as selecting patterns and completing sequences.

However, I felt that the test was discriminatory. Although I do not have any diagnosed learning disabilities, as a foreigner, completing the sentences section was difficult for me due to the uncommon vocabulary and limited time.

In the end, I was only able to complete 23 questions.

It has been over three weeks, and I have not received any feedback from the recruiter, who has been unresponsive and has ghosted me.

Today, the person who referred me for the job messaged me on LinkedIn to inform me that I failed the aptitude test.

Overall, it was a strange and unpleasant experience, and I feel it was a big red flag. 🔴
