I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Relativity (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2016
Interview
HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL
I had received a call from Kcura for an on site interview early in the year. I had finished the rounds and since the HR Manager was not present on the day I was bought on site, he had called me on the next day. We had a good chat and after talking to his team/higher management, he calls back and says he could offer another position if I still was OK with it. I say OK and they get back saying that the position went on hold.
After 6 months, I get a call from another hiring agency for the same position. I had made it clear that I was already interviewed by them and had explained what their feedback/response/outcome was. However, kcura decides we still go ahead and do the assessment again and the interview is scheduled for a face to face.
I had taken an off on the day of the interview to meet their schedule. Later, I get a call hours before the interview that they do not want to go ahead with the interview and cancel it abruptly. The reason they give the hiring agency is that they had already decided to pass during the start of the year. Why was this not conveyed earlier, before I could take an off and not waste my time preparing and finishing the assessment.
Its thoroughly unprofessional for such a huge company to cancel something which was planned prior to a week. The lack of ethics they follow surprises me to the core.
Looks like there is no value for other's time and money. Please do not take people for granted. Speak out when there is a problem, I would have never applied again if I knew that they had decided to pass on the first time. When the decision was made, why were the false promises made.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Relativity (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2021
Interview
Firstly, my case is very unique where the Hiring manager found my profile in LinkedIn and reached out to me saying he was impressed with my profile and he wants to know if I am interested in learning new opportunities at Relativity. I thought that it is a genuine requirement and said yes and provided my resume to him. The next the HR called me and scheduled telephonic round and it lasted 15 mins and no technical questions asked. Then, they promoted me to Hiring manager (Same person who reached in LinkedIn ) round which sounds much better than the previous one and it lasted one hour and not too much technical. After 10 days they came back saying that they were impressed with my background However, we would like to move forward with other candidates.
Please don't waste your valuable for this company.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Relativity in Apr 2017
Interview
First was filling out questionaire. Then two hanker rank questions. The questions are about processing data, then calculate degree from city. Then phone interview. I didn't do well in the phone interview. Mostly because I was hungry and tired and I did it in my car. The interviewer was very polite to answer a question although he wanted to end the interview. Although I think it takes way too much effort to get to a phone interview. And it's better to see the job description first before starting the whole process.
