Applied online. Got an email a few days later requesting to take an online aptitude test, which I did. Then got another email requesting to take the aptitude test again in the presence of the recruiter, followed by a brief on camera interview. Then...ghosted. Never heard anything back. Such lack of response is a very poor candidate experience.

I didn't have a negative experience with any person in particular, but I did not appreciate their interview process. I applied to a job and almost immediately got a response back asking me to take the personality/aptitude test. I was impressed with their quick response. Personally, I hate these tests. I feel if someone wants to get to know my personality, then talk to me. Don't analyze a test. Anyway, I spent about a half hour taking the test and immediately got a follow up to do a one hour phone interview with HR and to retake the test on camera so they could ensure that it was truly me taking it in the first place! While again they were quick to respond, at that point, I felt disrespected and started to get the feeling that if they couldn't trust I wouldn't cheat on a personality test, how could they trust me to do my job? If they wanted someone to monitor the test, why have me do it in the first place and just skip to the phone interview? In the end, it just didn't seem like my type of company culture so I had decided to move on and look for another opportunity.

Did the online assessment and four interviews and then never heard another word. Disappointing experience. Plus, it was reinforced that Sovos hires "high potential, low experience" so if you are an experienced professional, it may not make sense to waste time interviewing here.
