I was sent to HR for what I was told a meeting instead they advised testing. I was fine with testing into they hand me 5 timed test with very poor copying, you could tell if it was a smudge mark or comma. The testing was poorly set up, I would say with the quality of testing you get what you pay for. I have tested at other firms with much more quality and I would add much more pay. Less

I got the same horrible paper test! What a way to be an example. The computer test was okay, it honestly didn’t seem like much of a test, but those timed ones were unprofessional. Less
