InVue Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved 2 phone calls and 2 in-person visits. The first phone call was with the recruiter, Anthony Caputi. Even though he worked directly for the company, he was surprisingly supportive and helpful, acting as an advocate for me by explaining company values and culture, and helping me figure out if it was a good fit. He also gave me some useful advice. The second phone call was with the department manager, Rishi Gogate. This felt like a balanced conversation where I got to ask about the job, culture, and company, and he asked about my background and career goals. I left with a better understanding of the company and my potential place there. Then came the first all-day on-site interview. It started with a SolidWorks CAD test to check my parametric modeling abilities, followed by individual and group interviews with managers and engineers. Meeting potential coworkers was great for understanding the company culture and how people work together. The final step was the second on-site interview, which included a white-board session with 3-4 engineers. They presented engineering problems, and I had to participate in the design/brainstorming to find solutions. I really liked this part because it reflected real engineering work – needing to quickly analyze problems and develop solutions. This showed me InVue is collaborative and team-oriented, and that I could fit in and contribute meaningfully. I felt valued throughout the process, especially during the white-board session, more so than at my previous job. The recruiter was consistently responsive and helpful via email, even with my many questions. If you don't like the interview process, especially the white-board part, you might not like working here. But if you enjoy it, you'll likely love the job.

I started with a hiring manager I knew. Then had a phone screen with two people, which I thought went well. I was then invited for an in-person interview, but it got rescheduled twice, and I had to go to campus two separate times. The recruiter I started with was laid off the day of the first part of my in-person. I had the second in-person, and thought it went well again, but was worried about the layoff. A new recruiter took over and said everything went well and they were ready to make an offer, but I needed to meet the CEO. I went a third time, and they said they were going to make an offer. Three days after meeting the CEO, I got an email saying they went with another candidate, and I didn't get feedback. I would have preferred a phone call to get feedback after all the time spent interviewing.

I applied online and didn't hear back from HR for over a month, which was tough as I was an out-of-state candidate. I had a phone interview with an HR rep, then came in for an in-person interview with 2-3 people and they gave me a facilities tour. After that interview, they said they wanted me to come in for the final interview with upper management/CEO. They included and excluded the interview schedule. They gave me positive reassurance that everything was going well and I was a great candidate. I followed up with thank you emails and received positive responses. Then I was ghosted for a few weeks. I realized they offered another candidate the job and probably kept me on the burner. It was really discouraging since they provided so much positive reinforcement that I believed I was going to get the job. Finally, after a few weeks, HR emailed me and said they were going with someone else. Everything up until the ghosting was a positive experience. Don't lead a candidate on, get their hopes up, then ignore them.

So I was living in the same city, and they asked me for a first on-site interview. It was with the Director of Engineering, an Engineering Team Manager, and HR. Then I got called again for a second on-site interview. This time it was with the team and a few other people from the company. After the on-site, they gave me a do at home coding challenge. I loved the interview process, but haven't heard from them since 2 months - no review, no offer, no reject.
