We had a web conference interview with the people who would be doing the hiring. It was pretty standard for the most part, but it gave a really good vibe for the role and the kind of place it is. They were really on top of communication about where things stood and setting up times, which was nice.

The interview process with Columbus was pretty simple, mainly inquiring about my years of experience with certain technologies. Then, I had an interview with the client, which unfortunately didn't go very well. The recruiter from Columbus sent me to the wrong building for my interview, making me 15 minutes late by the time I got to the right place. Once I started talking with the client, it seemed to be going great, everyone was smiling. Near the end, they asked about my education, and I admitted I never finished college. It turned out a college degree is required for the position, something the recruiter failed to check before sending me for an in-person interview. It's a shame to see roles like this still exist, especially since I have double-digit years of experience in many areas. I feel like I wasted at least 4 hours dealing with the recruiter and going through this pointless interview.

I got an email from a recruiter and they called me for a phone interview within a day. Then I had an in-person interview with the client a week later. A second in-person interview was supposed to be within another week but I was traveling. We sorted it out via email to reschedule and they were really good about communicating.

I had 3 interviews, and they were pretty straightforward. The questions were easy for me since I do this stuff every day. The interviewers were professional and repeated questions to make sure I understood them.
