I went through three rounds: recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, and the CCAT test. The first two were straightforward—mostly an overview of the company and questions about my experience. The third round was the CCAT test, which was quite challenging. It’s a 50-question assessment covering math, logic, and language skills, and definitely requires preparation. The frustrating part is that you don't receive any results or feedback after completing the test. A few days later, I followed up and was told that my score wasn’t high enough to move on to the technical interview - again, without any actual scores or thresholds shared. I also reached out to the recruiter I had been working with, but they ended up ghosting me. Considering I invested my weekend time and money into preparing for the process, I expected better communication from their side.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't speak on actual examples, but for a general understanding you can expect something like this with 15 sec to respond:
40% of the of the pupils at the school are girls and 75% of all the pupils are Catholic, with an equal proportion for boys and girls. What is the percentage of catholic girls at school?
I applied online. I interviewed at Red Oak Compliance Solutions
Interview
Total of 5 rounds including a phone screening, chat with engineering manager and 3 technical rounds. The final round is a two hour onsite that is straight whiteboarding and leaves little to no time for discussion. It was quite a long and tedious process and I sunk in over 8 hours of interviewing here.

Final round whiteboarding for 2 hours: Create a text-based command line dungeon crawler-type game. Will test OOP knowledge and data structures. They draw out the game map as squares and ask that you write code to satisfy each of the CLI arguments.
