Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
IQ / Intelligence Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The first round after they accept the CV is an online test, it tests your competences. There are four games, they test cognitive ability. Main abilities tested are working memory, attention, anticipation and impulsivity among other things. There is no way to prepare for this test as your ability wont improve much over a few days. I would suggest practicing on Lumosity for a year - 6 months and getting good at speed, memory and attention games. If you play video games this assessment will be a breeze for you.

I passed that round was invited for a virtual interview. This interview included behavioral and technical questions. Everything was happening through a recording application similar to Hirevue. In total I got two questions, one on behavioral and two technical questions. The questions are not unfair but the time given to think of a proper answer is very limited.
