Charles River Development Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had back-to-back interviews with 4 managers. The interviews covered technical topics, my past experiences, and how I would design and approach a solution for a potential problem.

it was pretty chill and easy, like 3 rounds of interview. interviewers were helpful and wanted to know my approach rather than the exact solution, they even gave hints for me to approach the solution. 1st round with algorithms dsa 2nd round oops and SQL 3rd round-DSA

I was found on a job board by HR and the director for this role, which I was super excited about because my resume was a great fit. First, I had a phone screen with the director. Then, I was invited for a 5-hour onsite interview with 5 people from the company. It was a long day, but everyone I met was friendly. I spoke with two team members, the director, and two team leads. Before the onsite, there was a challenging logical test, and after, a writing sample. Honestly, I'd rather do one long interview day than meet different people every week; I found this style very productive. The main issue was the company's communication afterward. They said I'd hear back in two days, but I didn't. After a week of waiting, I emailed for an update, and HR said they were still processing. A week later, I emailed the director, who didn't reply (maybe he was busy). The following week, I emailed HR again, and they finally let me know they'd finished interviewing the last candidate, which was over two weeks after my interview. Just a few days ago, thinking I wouldn't hear back, I sent another status check email. HR informed me they'd selected someone else. While I'm fine with them finding the best candidate, the lack of communication throughout the month-long process was awful. I always had to initiate contact. It felt really disrespectful, and honestly, I feel I deserve better responses.
