I had to complete the Rembrandt profile before a 30-minute screening interview. In my experience, the recruiter spent most of the time talking about the company rather than asking screening questions, and I wasn’t asked a “Tell Me About Yourself” question. The Rembrandt profile itself included some really odd questions, like choosing which option was “most like you” from clearly terrible choices you would never want to tell an employer. There were also analogies like “sun is to basketball as moon is to…?” and simple math word problems. After the initial phone screening, I completed the skills assessment, which had four sections: Timed math/logic questions – answer as many as possible within 2 minutes. Extended math/logic section – roughly 45 minutes, no calculator allowed. SAT-style section – a mix of math, reading comprehension, and logic puzzles. Coding/problem-solving section – tested your ability to learn new information quickly and apply it; I wasn’t required to actually code as a finance graduate, but was given examples and had to determine whether they were correct based on the background information provided. The assessments took nearly 4 hours total. While I felt confident in my performance, I found the tests very tedious and oddly formatted. Overall, the design of the assessment felt like it set you up for failure. I ultimately did not move on to the next interview stage.

I was first given a phone screening then they sent me an assessment to take. The assessment was timed and monitored on a video screening. After the assessment I had another behavioral interview. The actual interview itself was easy but the assessment was the difficult part. You will know right away if this position if for you
