Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Lumen in Oct 2021

Interview

Just completed the recorded interview, so I have yet to hear if I am moving forward. They seem to make everyone who submits an application for any position complete a one-way video interview (judging by the fact that I received the interview link at the exact same time as the "application received" email). I think this type of interview is dehumanizing in general, but to make candidates prepare for and record an interview before the company has even reviewed applications (and a human might not even look at your application) is extremely disrespectful of candidates' time. Moreover, the one-way video interview questions are not tailored to any position, they are obviously the same questions for every position. It is a series of 7 behavioral questions. You have 30 seconds to prepare to answer, one minute to answer, and one chance to answer each question. Even in real life there is more flexibility if you need time to think of an answer, but in this case you'd better know within 30 seconds. After that I had two "games." I don't know if these were selected for my position or not, but they were not remotely relevant to it. One game requires you to select matching shapes, and the other is a memory/math game. I have done one-way video interviews before, and as dehumanizing as they are, at least other employers actually review applications before asking for them, and have questions that are relevant to the position. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I do not particularly have any desire to work for Lumen now.
