Candidate-reported interview process

It was an in-person interview with a 1-hour round and a technical round. The technical round had 4 interviewers, and it was more of a discussion.

I had a really great interview experience with A123 Systems, starting from the first chat all the way to the technical interviews. Everything was set up nicely, and the people interviewing me really knew their stuff. The questions were tough but made sense for the job, and it felt like a good, collaborative vibe. HR kept me in the loop the whole time, and it all wrapped up pretty quickly. I felt like they cared about me as a candidate, and it made me even more excited about potentially joining A123 Systems. I'd totally suggest this company to others looking to work somewhere cool and new! Big thanks to A123 Systems for the awesome interview!

The interview process was easy going and the panel was on time. I was interviewed by several people, ranging from future colleagues to VP level. I arrived on time, parked nearby, and waited in the lobby for about 5 minutes. Then, an HR person came and we went to a conference room.
