1) Contacted through Handshake to apply for TS position. I have a biology background, so I was a bit surprised to hear from a software company. The position looked pretty interesting, though, so I applied right away.
2) Submitted an online application, and was emailed 3 hours later to schedule a phone interview.
3) Brief, informative phone screen (~ 20 minutes).
- No difficult questions, mostly for you to learn about the positions.
2 hours after I was emailed to schedule my skills assessment.
4) Skills assessment (~2 hours, proctored online).
- The assessment timing is intentionally tight for some sections; you might not finish and be fine.
- No coding knowledge needed, only verbal and math-based logic and reasoning.
Pretty immediately after finishing I was sent the Rembrandt link.
5) Rembrandt personality profile (~30 minutes): personality and logic questions. About 24 hours later I was notified I should schedule an on-site interview, and would interview for both TS and QA, which I scheduled for the following week.
6) On-site interview on a Friday:
- Dinner on Thursday, the day I flew in, with other similar position candidates and a current employee
- Accommodations were a nice hotel downtown
- Food and travel expenses are either covered or reimbursed.
- Most of Friday was informative rather than interviews and campus was beautiful, despite that most of your day is spent in the HR building.
- Coffee, lunch, and snacks are provided on campus.
- There's a coding assessment at the end of the interview, but it's a placement test rather than to determine if you're offered a position. I have really limited coding experience from a biostats class.
- Be yourself, relax, and have fun!
7) Job offer the following Wednesday, which I accepted on the spot!
