CityTwist interview questions

I was personally acquainted with the woman who interviewed me, having worked down the hall from her for several years at a different company. She alerted me to the opening at CityTwist and conducted my interview. I was placed in a room with another applicant and we were presented a timed IQ-type test. We were told to complete as many of the questions as we could in a set time. I don't recall the name of the test, but two other employees later indicated that it's an industry standard one. I didn't finish every question but I am quite confident that I did very well (and my interviewer indicated that I had). There weren't very many questions asked of me, as the interviewer knew about my background already. I got indications that the job was mine, and so I went home and waited for confirmation that didn't come. So I got back in touch, and was told that management has made some modifications to the position and hired a woman with a law degree, as the position was being moved from Fulfillment's domain to Legal's. This was in January. I had not obtained employment by July when I was contacted and asked if I was still interested in the position. Since I was, I was invited back for a "final interview" with the VP of Operation, my hourly wage was confirmed, and I started several days later.

It was a few years ago but it was hostile and ridiculous. Was in same room with another candidate who was interviewing for same position. The interviewer was a total jerk amd very rude. I also beleive he was racist because he only talked to me and ignored other guy. The software test was stupid because I couldn't get the sql server to authenticate properly locally on the system they gave me to do the test on. It was a total waste of time. Not once was I asked a direct question from anyone about anything nor was I given any overview of the company or the job. I cannot say it's the same situation today but after reading some of the recent reviews it apparently is. They are still giving that stupid ridiculous logic test. Really??? This company is in the stone ages for interviewing practices, I can only imagine it is a nightmare to work at this place. That probably explains why they are constantly hiring.
