Before meeting me or talking to me over the phone I was asked to perform an "aptitude" test. To be completely candid, I was a bit shocked at the request because I have over 15 years of experience as a DBA but I completed the test nonetheless. I didn't score well enough to advance to the "actually speaking to a person" phase which was, frankly, degrading. In 2018 it's unsettling that companies are still relying upon psychometric testing to assess candidates, and in this case it was a bit like being told I was not intelligent enough to interview. In retrospect I'm glad because the rigidity portends a bad work environment.
