Apera AI interview questions

Applied online and answered a million “what would you do if” questions just for the application. I then got an interview with a recruiter within the week. The questions were tough and sounded like there will be zero on the job training. I then had to take a 3 part personality/IQ quiz where I got an average score on two sections but 90th percentile on the third. Honestly, I could have done better than average on the other two, but I was tired of answering “if two trains leave Chicago at 50mph” type questions. I have a masters degree, more than 5 years experience, and self respect. Making applicants take a quiz is embarrassing for your company and I didn’t want to work there afterwards.

The process consisted of an HR phone screen, a 1 hour technical interview with one of their engineers, and a 3 hour back to back onsite interview with 3 different people. Having seen the previous reviews, I kind of treated this interview process as a practice and did not invest too much effort. I’m glad I did as the interview process confirmed my concerns with this company's professionalism. While some conversations with the engineers were pleasant, the overall process was pretty disorganized and unprofessional. There were multiple last-minute changes, including a late night email about rescheduling, and inconsistent communication that left me guessing about the next step. During the onsite interview they changed the interview panel on spot. I thought I did okay in the final interview, but still received a curt, unmeaningful boilerplate rejection email. Two months later I can still see the exact same position being advertised. Also in my own research I have discovered that the company is not as new as they claimed to be.
