The online test consisted of a series of tasks that involved building Excel pivot tables and performing other data analysis tasks to answer questions about a data set. I found the evaluation to be quite difficult but clever, well constructed, and extremely fascinating. It took me the better part of a morning, which was probably a bad sign. I also got a sense of the substance of the job while doing the test, and it was a bit different than my impressions going into the test and not the kind of role I would have wanted. I received a cordial email the next day with the bad news that I didn't do well enough on the test to warrant further consideration for the position. Although I felt a bit disappointed, I thought the process was fair and probably revealed a true disconnect between my interests and abilities and the requirements of the job.
