Initial phone screening by H.R then 1:1 first virtual meeting with direct line Manager. Before the second interview you are inundated with psychometric and personality tests ( McQuiag and The Rogers Group) 5 tests in total is a serious concern regarding a lack of trust in their own hiring or evaluation process; over reliance on tests instead of real-world performance: culture of surveillance and control; mistrust and micromanagement. The 2nd interview is with the VP of sales and direct line Manager, again with a role play and case study provided 48 hrs before hand (which was never received, and a further sign of internal dysfunction) There was also a refusal to elaborate on the REM, signalling a further invalidating environment. I declined to progress any further. In short: repeated psychometric testing suggests a company might have trust issues, poor leadership, ethical blind spots, and a toxic culture in which you are constantly monitored and “optimized,” rather than empowered and trusted.

Met at hotel restaurant with hiring manager. Very conversational and comfortable interview process. Then had interview with VP and Human Resources. Hiring process was as expected. They were very good at communication through the entire process.
