Open Access Technology International interview questions

The interview was super bizarre. It was a group interview with five other candidates and the CFO. The CFO spent half the time justifying why she uses the hiring process she does and then spewed a bunch of propaganda about why the company was so great. Next, she went around and asked each candidate approximately one question based on his or her resume (absolutely nothing difficult or in depth.) Finally, she let us ask questions, but then responded in a way that conveyed she thought they were stupid or a waste of time. Following the interview, I didn't hear anything for two months, after which I was sent a form email telling me they didn't have a position for me. This was a huge waste of time.

Bizarre. Did not meet my future prospective supervisor, nor teammates. No discussion of job title, projects; no specific job posting. I was part of a group. We were given two written tests: the first covered programming and computer languages, the second was pure math (story problems, logic, combinations and permutations, algebra). Both were multiple choice, but that doesn't mean easy. The test proctor (aka HR lady) told us not to worry too much about finishing, especially the math test - because we were not expected to finish it. This made me feel better - especially when time ran out on the math test. In the second phase of the interview, the CEO himself spoke to us. He read us each our scores on the two written exams we had just taken (!) asked us a little about our background and then explained their hiring process a little. Meritocracy + Your Score on Written Exams => Autocracy Towards the end, he had us jot-down our salary expectation on the back of a sheet of paper. Actually, it was the back of the dossiers he had on each of us. The one thing that was made clear: every group in the company meets every day at 8am.
