Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and asked me to apply to the position after sending her my CV. Applied through link and was rejected then she arranged for me to do the aptitude test anyway. The test felt completely irrelevant to the job - either rush and answer all questions but incorrectly or answer slowly and be deducted points for not answering all. I chose to answer slowly as in a business context it would be more important for me to produce accurate information at a slower pace than a lot of mediocre and incorrect information. They did not see it this way.
the actual interviews were okay quite standard nothing noteworthy. The timeline tho was extremely long. Mine took more than 3 months end to end. Recruiter initially told me it would take 3 weeks to do the 3 interviews and a case study. The whole process ended up taking 3 months, before I ended up getting rejected. The part where it took the longest is the scheduling part. It takes 2 weeks to schedule an interview and another 1 week to be informed of the result. So all in all between interviews it took on average 3 weeks which is insane and kinda disrespectful ngl.

They rescheduled once and forgot about the interview. I sent them an email and they scheduled another one. Asked general questions. Should have canceled once they stood me up in the first place.
SHL Test. HR round. Then interviews with product team about my experience & case studies. Had opportunity to speak to senior managers, which was quite good. Gave me good glimpse into their culture.
