First I passed a CV screening and a game, and then they scheduled a one-time coaching session on casing with a current employee.

That coaching helped me feel more prepared when I reached the actual casing round, but it still went badly on my side: I failed the first round after the casing attempt.

What surprised me was that the people I met during the process were still very friendly, even though the result wasn’t what I wanted. The overall experience felt like a real attempt to support you before the testing, but once it started, it was strict about performance in the casing itself. I didn’t get an offer, and I walked away realizing that coaching could sharpen my approach, but it couldn’t erase gaps in how I executed
