I guess you could be right. The recruiter called me for a phone interview. From the interview, it was obvious that she did not know anything about the job I was applying nor technical enough to interview me. Looked like she just asked me questions written by somebody else and then recorded my answers for somebody else to evaluate. She said that she would discuss my case with the hiring manager and she would be in touch within a week. Immediately after that, she sent me an evaluation on her performance. Of course, I rated perfect in all categories. After I submitted the evaluation form, she sent me a request to take the test. Did not seem to be very professional asking the candidate to take the test after the candidate submitted the evaluation form. If I could evaluate her again, I would have rated the opposite. I asked somebody working for the company what that is all above. He said that it was just bureaucracy and asked me not to take it personally. Looks like there is no choice. Either waste 3 hours to take the test or just give up that application.

Hi, I have been asked to take a Codility test. Anybody has experience with that? It looks like most people hate it.
