Interview Process
The interview process consisted of two main parts. The first part was an IQ test lasting 30 minutes with 50 questions. Speed was crucial, and it was advised not to get stuck on any single question. If a question took too long, it was better to skip it. Some vocabulary questions included advanced terms that were unfamiliar, leading to several skipped questions. Despite this, the candidate successfully passed this round. The second part focused on cultural fit and had no time limit. It was recommended to review the company’s culture beforehand, emphasizing the importance of demonstrating a strong work ethic. After completing the first round, the candidate received an email about the next steps within a day.
