Shocked by how outdated, backwards, and ridiculous their application/interview process is. Applied online from LinkedIn, no phone screening, just received emails and texts from a recruiter telling me my qualifications match and asking to take assessments. Those assessments start with an old-fashioned application asking you to manually input work history. The work history already on the resume they reviewed. Okay, so they're behind the times and don't have the technology to pull work history from your resume (even though they're a software company), fine. Afterwards, there are a series of approximately 10 separate, asinine, timed assessments— none of which have anything to do with performing the job duties. It also takes HOURS to complete. It's obvious that the main function of these generalized assessments are to thin out the application pool, not to identify actual talent. I hit a midpoint where I'd gotten through severals tests and my morale was gone because I felt like my time was being wasted, but I'd already gone this far so I may as well finish. That's when I stopped caring. If the point of the assessments are to assess your endurance for pointless busywork, then yes, I absolutely failed because I stopped caring and just started choosing answers. TL,DR: It's ridiculous that this company expects applicants to dedicate hours of time TESTING for a position they've already determined the applicant is qualified for when zero of the questions are about performing the duties of the job. I would suggest that the company hires a consultant to modernize and humanize their application process, but I don't see that happening. Whatever bureaucracy is in place that enabled this current process to exist, is probably the "thank you for your feedback but we're not really receptive to it" type.

Immediately got an interview offer. I then did some research on the company and saw how horribly structured the rest of the interview process was, then decided not to move forward.
