Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

May 5, 2026

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

After application submission, a recruiter reached out asking me to complete a Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) and the Employee Personality Profile (EPP) tests. I never heard back from the recruiter after completing them. It takes about 30 minutes of my time to do those tests, and the recruiter doesn't have the decency to spend 30 seconds with a follow-up email.

Questions

The process included the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) and the Employee Personality Profile (EPP) tests.
