Intensive, laborious, and exaggerated. I spent many days preparing myself for the different stages of their interview process. I took the first step at the end of December 2017 by submitting my resume online. Two weeks later, I received an e-mail to take a timed Skills Assessment (30 minutes). My results were favorable and therefore I was invited to participate in a video interview. I did so by selecting a block of time in a schedule based on the interviewer's availability. This also had a predetermined time set for 45 minutes, however mine was roughly only 30 minutes. This is where it gets interesting. I honestly do not feel that I did an excellent job on the video interview because I was very nervous. The interviewer seemed to notice my nervousness and took it in stride. I was grateful because she stated she was advancing me to the next stage of the process. Then began an e-mail being introduced to a higher exec. This person explained the "Skills Assessment Phase" and that she would be forwarding me multiple requests to complete right away. If you are unavailable during any part of that week, you have to let her know right away. Even if you have another job, they expect you to be available ALL day everyday and expect fast e-mail responses, despite your current work situation or personal circumstances. The tasks were estimated to take 45-60 minutes, however anyone who has been involved in this process knows they have done a poor estimation for these requests. My first assessment was fairly easy, and I kept in touch to let them know I was working on it. It was returned to them within 24 hours. Second assessment however, much more involved and took a considerable amount of time to perfect the project I was tasked. I spent over two hours on this project and sent it back with high hopes. Unfortunately, less than 2 hours later, I was e-mailed my "thanks but no thanks" e-mail, writing me off even though I did what was asked. What is more disheartening is the fact that they cannot provide you ANY feedback or elaborate on how they came to their decision to decline your application. You're not paid for the hours of hard work you are asked to perform and you basically leave it to them to just say yes or no. I will say this to the Belay execs, congratulations for having an impressive reputation on Glassdoor. However, take a look at the Interview remarks about your company and you will see the vast amount of negative input based on your refusal provide feedback to those of us you have written off. We spent a great deal of time and effort on you, so the least you could do is provide us feedback as to why we were not selected. If that takes too much time for you, perhaps create a few e-mail templates, cut and paste it into an e-mail so we aren't left high and dry.
