I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ION Group (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Received verbal offer after Superday. Easy interviews. Ghosted me for almost 3 months and just messaged me today: "As mentioned previously, we were very impressed with your application and interviews. Your candidacy was sent to senior management for final approval. Unfortunately, we must inform you that we are no longer in a position to move forward with your candidacy. We sincerely appreciate your patience during this process. Please feel free to apply to other vacancies that arise within the organization in future. " Thank you for wasting my time. I highly recommend not applying to this role. Had a very similar experience to others.

Question 1
Basic behavioral questions about dealing with difficult situations
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ION Group (Milan)
Interview
Dopo un primo colloquio positivo con le risorse umane, ho preso parte al loro test tecnico. Ho una laurea in matematica e mi era stato assicurato che non sarebbe stato svantaggioso per questo test, grazie alla presenza di domande di logica, inglese e un codice da compilare in un linguaggio a propria scelta. Per i primi due argomenti non c'è stato alcun problema ma la fregatura (per la mia preparazione accademica) è stata la parte di programmazione che, contrariamente da come mi era stato detto, consisteva in 3/5 del test e soprattutto era infattibile per qualcuno con le mie conoscenze. Ovviamente nei giorni successivi mi è arrivata una mail con scritto che non volevano proseguire con me per il lavoro.
Quello che posso dire è che non possono pretendere che fisici o matematici abbiano quella padronanza nella programmazione.

Question 1
HR:"Qual è stato un' esperienza personale che ti ha dato soddisfazione nell'arco dell'anno?"
Test tecnico: il programma usava le ArrayList.
Zoom with two employees who had gone through the program. Asked fairly basic questions. Was told I would hear back either way in the next couple of weeks but it took months for an eventual rejection.
