I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at iCIMS (Edison, NJ) in July 2020
Interview
I was contacted by a screener who was very professional discussed the position for 15 minutes and he followed up a few weeks later with next steps. I was surprised that before even speaking to a hiring manager that they required an IQ test, I guess decades of experience and an advanced degree were not enough to prove I was worth speaking to. The test required me to answer 50 question in 15 minutes, something that I would did not expect from a senior position. I decided that this was not they type of company I wanted to pursue due to this process seeming extremely impersonal.
