The interview process was very short but seemed like a waste of time to me. It was a very short phone call, which I thought went well.

Then they had me do a 10-question C++ based quiz online. I hadn't touched C++ in years; my recent experience was in C#, and the job description was also C#. I apparently didn't do well enough on the quiz.

I immediately received an email the next day stating they wouldn't be pursuing me as a candidate. They probably use this same generic C++ quiz for every software position, even though the job I applied for was a C# programmer. No wonder they are failing as a company lately.

Background information on the phone. A 10-question C++ quiz is apparently used for every position, regardless of the technology used.
