Perguntas de entrevista da empresa CF

Convoluted process, disproportionate to the reality of a start-up/small firm. Literacy and numeracy tests, first and second interviews including panel interviews. Seemed hierarchical and a bit like central government processes. Appallingly arrogant CEO who really doesn’t have a good sense of anything other than NHS processes. Didn’t respond well to candidates asking questions. I did my own research and financials don’t look good for the firm. Combined with gut sense that this firm would be a nightmare to work with, I declined my offer

Process: CV submission, online numerical reasoning test, screening call with HR, stage one interview with standard interview questions, followed by a case study and equation question. Experience: I found the experience unprofessional. HR were initially very responsive. The first few stages were ok- I had concerns about the culture having read the reviews online but the interviewer preempted my question and spoke to recent changes they’d made in the company, so I proceeded to the case study and equation stage. The case study was fine although the data visualisation within it was very poor- I’d be concerned about it going to clients- and felt like it was designed to trip you up. Where I fell down was the equation question- which I felt was quite old school and not reflective of reality. After that interview I didn’t hear back from HR - after I had chased them I’d been told they had whatsapp’d me but it didn’t come through. They knew this as it hadn’t delivered on their side but made no other attempt to get in touch. When I did get to speak to them the feedback was that I had overcomplicated the equation and my numerical reasoning wasn’t quick enough. When I asked how I’d performed in the numerical reasoning test they said “very well”, so this felt conflicting. They then offered me associate work to test me out in a live project with view to permanent if I did well. I agreed to this, and was put in touch with the associate lead. I emailed the associate lead twice and had no reply. After two weeks I contacted HR again and was told they were not recruiting to the associate pool but the associate lead would be in touch nonetheless - unsurprisingly at this stage - they did not get in touch. I emailed the director to feedback my concerns about the comms- this email was ignored. A few weeks later I got an email from HR asking my availability for associate work. I responded with my availability and then heard nothing back - again. I feel relieved now that I didn’t get the role. The experience rings true to the company culture described on here and I wish I had trusted my gut and not put myself through it.
