I looked at the form. I don’t know the Indian job market and the typical process, but I wouldn’t apply to that place. Invasive questions, woo woo culture vibes, and then a big multihour homework assignment with a warning about rejection. Looks like a waste of time to apply, at least for anyone who has other options. Maybe that’s where those self directed learners are.
I agree. Assuming that nobody answered the questions and did the assignment because they aren't independent thinkers is arrogant. Nobody answered the questions and did the assignment as they make this job far more expensive to apply to than other jobs, with no clear higher expected value.
