Insider Tip

Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and Tumblr) uses the CCAT as an early screen, particularly for strategy, operations, and business roles. Candidates for Strategy & Operations positions should prioritize the Verbal and Math sections — analytical communication and quantitative reasoning are heavily weighted in S&O interviews. After the CCAT, Automattic's hiring process is unusually thorough: expect a paid trial project and async text-based interviews before any offer.
