Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela The Predictive Index (Boston, MA) em set. de 2020
Entrevista
The Predictive Index specializes in interviewing and job placement metrics. The interview process involved 7 different interviews and 2 tests. In the end, I was not offered a job because I did not have all the desired requirement even though they claimed that personality mattered more than skills. They knew that from the resume. I felt like I was just a guinea pig helping them expand their research.

Candidatei-me por meio de uma agência de recrutamento. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa The Predictive Index.
Entrevista
I usually don't write reviews for reasonable companies, but PI was really unprofessional so I decided to write down about how I was treated in their interview process.
First, received a message from Linkedin saying my background looks like a fit for their Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack position. Asked if I want to apply. Replied 'Yes'.
Then they sent out 2 assessments: a behavioral assessment and a cognitive assessment. Completed them in 2 days. Asked what's next. Waited a couple days. They replied and asking me to complete another cognitive assessment saying people were usually given a 2nd chance to complete it. Completed it again.
Waited 1 week and heard nothing. Follow up with the recruiter. No reply. Until one day (Tuesday) another recruiter from PI contacted me saying they want to set up a call with me. And she scheduled it to the coming Friday.
The recruiter called 8 minutes late per our scheduled time. She sounded uninterested and asked a few standard questions. Mentioned my behavioral assessment result indicated I was the person they were looking for. This was on a Friday. On Sunday, I received a template email saying "We are not moving forward with your candidacy for the role". Until now, the whole process took 3+ weeks.
It looks like they just want some free users to test out their products. Not interested in hiring people at all given the lack of response they showed.
