This was a painfully slow and detailed interview process. From the time I submitted the application, until the time I called to prompt them to tell me if I was still being considered for the job, I put more time into interviewing than any employer had ever asked. I spent 20+ hrs over the course of 3 months. The interviews consisted of several online personality & character tests, 5 tests I needed to come into their office to take (math, word usage, Microsoft products), a HOMEWORK assignment, and a several hour phone interview. Initially, the HR department did not understand how my current job could be related to the position they were hiring for. After several attempts of me asking them to give me more testing, they did so - big time. It turned out that the job they were hiring for was something I did all day long, and at a more intense level. It was as if I was overqualified, for lack of a better word. DDI seems to be overstaffed. The position I applied for had been open for several months before I applied and they were in no hurry to fill it. The HR department did not seem to organize my interview process in a efficient way, and I felt strung along the entire 3 months. After completion of my last interview, the interviewer told me they were confident that I would go onto the next step (meeting the team). After not hearing back for 2 weeks, I contacted the HR department. It took them a few extra days from there to let me know that they will not be pursuing me as a candidate.
