I clicked the first job listing and didn't find anything about the interview or assessment.
They do have a weird note about the company's "Biblical principles" though:
> Level 12 was founded on biblical principles and has biblically informed Values.
Can you please write out your process here instead of making us search for it on your website?
> We exist to serve our customers, our employees, our partners, and our community in a way that brings them genuine benefit, honors Jesus Christ, and advances the Kingdom of God.
Well, that's not what I expected from a software development website. And I can't speak for others, but this alone would be a reason I wouldn't even apply.
I don't hide my faith or the biblical foundations for my worldview, as my posts here on HN will show.
But, I can say I've received way more discriminatory remarks and hassle because I don't hide those views than I've ever given out. I've also had people express a lot of surprise at the fact that I'm in software and have such a worldview. I don't want anyone to be surprised by it so I let it be known. If people think it's inappropriate or decide they don't want to work with us because of it, I can't help their attitude. But I'm not the one being biased.
Yeah, thought the "12" might be a bit of that, but didn't want to assume.
Church IT is supprisingly complex these days. Apparently churches use all kinds of demographic and social media data to identify and contact people who are crisis and recruit them into their flock.

Honestly I thought this is just another Level N technology company.

The Rest of the Process
Our application process is outlined roughly below.
But, before you get there, we want to apologize in advance if this process seems...imposing. We have put considerable thought and refinement into each one of these steps in an effort to make sure our hiring process is as well crafted as our software. And just like software, hiring is a lot more complex than it might seem on the surface. Our hiring process is far from perfect (like our software), we are still learning and tweaking, but we want to assure you that each of these steps gives us crucial information regarding you and your development abilities that is essential for helping us to determine if this is a good match.
Consider this: our entire process is less than a week's worth of effort to make sure that where you spend the next 1-5 years of your life is a good fit. Isn't that worth it? Keep in mind that we have deliberately structured our process so that the earlier stages require less effort. Our hope is that if you make it to the later stages of our process, where the time commitment increases, you will have had a chance to get to know us a bit better so you can decide if the time investment on your part is worth it. We care about your time (and ours) and do our best not to waste it! Application Steps
