I managed to get an interview with the hiring manager, but only after completing a very lengthy and exhausting assessment. It had three parts focused on data, where I had to provide insights and recommendations within just 24 hours. On top of that, there were two culture-related essays to write as well. For a mere assessment, the amount of work required in such a short time was excessive — it honestly felt like they were over-wringing candidates for free work rather than simply testing skills. The hiring manager was cool and straightforward, and the interview itself gave me some hope. But afterward, I was ghosted. Much later, HR told me I wouldn’t be moving to the next stage with the “big boss” because they suddenly froze hiring. After all the effort, it felt like a complete waste of time. To make things worse, the benefits they offer are bare minimum, which makes the entire process even less appealing. My advice: don’t try too hard interviewing here — it’s not worth the effort.
