After applying, I received a link to participate in an online assessment. There was one short programming exercise, but the majority of of the assessment involved answering basic logic questions (like determining the order of people standing against a wall given certain parameters) with a little bit of pointless fluff (like checking boxes to indicate "which values are most important to you"). It felt like it was designed for someone fresh out of college, and as someone with nearly 20 years of programming experience, it felt downright insulting. It was as if Emergent went into the interview process with the assumption that I was lying on my resume. Two days after the assessment, I got a generic rejection email, which was just as well. I would have turned them down if they'd wanted to go further.
