Process
The interview process involved a phone screen, a take-home test, a system design and DS&A interview, and several rounds with senior management. It also included an IQ test, followed by an "EQ" interview.
I passed all the technical interviews well but was rejected on the final EQ round for "not showing enough examples of helping people." This occurred after they asked invasive personal questions that brought up memories of traumatic incidents I'd experienced.
Furthermore, I could not discuss instances of helping people who "struggled" because these were situations where individuals had entrusted me with deeply personal issues. I am unwilling to violate that trust for an interview. Generally, the relevance of my personal life to the role was unclear. The questions also demonstrated a lack of empathy for an "EQ" interview.
