I applied online. I interviewed at Toggl (San Diego, CA)
Interview
To even get an interview, they have you take a test and after the test you will know your score. The test is mostly around the subject matter for the position you are applying for and a few questions about your views of company culture. My first comment is that many of the multiple choice answers are ambiguous and the questions are not very well written. Several questions can be answered with free form text which is somehow graded by an automated system. My assumption it uses key words or phrases. After the interview, I asked a few questions about the test questions and answers and they would not tell me. In all, it felt like a poorly done process that is pretty mysterious. While I like the concept in general of what they are doing, it felt poorly executed and was a turn off to the company. It wasn't cutting edge, it felt like a company that was a bit full of themselves.
Thank you for the feedback. We will make sure to review the wording of all questions to see if we find any ambiguities. I would like to clarify that open text questions are not automatically scored. We review those manually for everyone who passes the minimum threshold for multiple-choice and single data entry questions that can be automatically evaluated by the Hundred5 tool. We get hundreds of applications for each position and the skills tests help us to evaluate the basic job skills that we require of the positions, so we can only invite qualified candidates to the next rounds. Applicants who advance will get to demonstrate their knowledge through more elaborate assignments and trial work. Unfortunately we are unable to share individual detailed feedback about each question to the applicants, because it would be too time consuming and would give these candidates an unfair advantage over others.
