Comments:
I was a professional temp (until about three years ago) and went to Wall Street Svcs to register for a WP position - I wanted to switch from 1st to 2nd shift.
The tests were fun -- except for the math. I had to do multiple long division problems with just scrap paper - no calculator allowed, and, to be honest, math is not my strong skill, although Excel is.
I scored high (100@ on average) except for the math, and I explained to the counselor that with caculators and formulas math-by-hand-or-abacus isn't necessary. She agreed with me and assured me that I would be easily placed.
Two weeks later, I received a rejection letter!
So, unless you're an accountant, I don't recommend them unless your math skills are top-notch. That seems to be all they care about.
