I was approached by eagleview. I asked her to explain the process. I was told that I will have to take a codility test, followed by UCAT and in-person interview.
I took the codility test. There were 3 questions in there. The first one was pretty simple. The other two were a bit difficult. I solved all of them and had a score of 87%. I lost points because one of my solutions was not very performant.
I was scheduled for in-person. Here is where it gets interesting. These clowns kept me waiting for 60 minutes even though the interview time was scheduled well in advance. I asked those HR zombies what's going on and finally was taken in for the interview. The company is absolute bottom tier. The general expectation is when someone comes in via a codility test, a lot of focus is on the solution and variations on it. It wasn't discussed at all. I am not sure if these idiots even know the questions in the test or if they are capable of solving it themselves. From my talk with them, I would be willing to bet they will be unable to write fizzbuzz.
I talked to some AVP or something for about 40 minutes talking about cloud, hybrid cloud, deployments, HA, failover, kubernetes, service meshes, and what have you. Then his manager, director or something, came up and spent most of the time staring at my face.
After that, they told me I have to take this UCAT. UCAT is stupid, and specifically stupid for hiring architects. What it conveys is the company has no architects and above who know how to hire architects. Anyway, since I had agreed to it previously, I took that within 2 days.
I tried calling these idiots after that. They started singing another tune that there might be more rounds and the hiring manager is in US(like US doesn't have phones and internet). Professionalism is a foreign concept here. These are the absolute bottom of the barrel people.
After 2 weeks, one of the HRs texted me that she is sorry that I wasn't selected in the first round. This is mind bogglingly stupid. In total, I took the codility test, 2 in-person interviews, and one UCAT test. This was the process that was described to me. I am not sure what "first round" means and how did it take them 2+weeks to decide this after lying about more rounds, and hiring manager being in US, and what not.
These clowns have 0 regards for your time. You have a few people who are paid well and those no-lifers are hiring cattle. If you are paid a decent salary, do not waste time with these retards.
