Jaggaer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process spanned about 5-6 weeks. It involved meeting with two Partner Managers for a general discussion about my background. Then, I met with the VP Partner Manager, which included the same type of conversation plus a prepared business case presentation and discussion. Finally, I spoke with the SVP of Alliances about my experience, the company, and the role.

The interview seemed to go really well at first. The person interviewing me seemed really into my background and how it fit the role, and they seemed excited about me. But then, like, 3 days later, I got an email saying they weren't moving forward with my application. It was a super unexpected and disappointing change, especially since it seemed so promising before. I'm bummed but hey, good luck to them!

The interview process had 2 main stages. The first stage was a standard interview that included many competency-based questions along with general questions. The second stage involved a presentation, followed by more competency-based questions, and a mix of general and role-specific questions related to the presentation. Despite a lot of questions, it wasn't overly difficult. Some unexpected questions were asked, such as what you enjoy least about the role. The HR team was slow in advertising and providing updates. They also shared process and candidate information with others who shouldn't have been informed first, which was a breach of confidentiality. HR was vague when answering questions and unclear with feedback. No feedback was given by the PS team until it was requested. The PS team also took a long time to respond after the interview, suggesting they might be overwhelmed. There's a high staff turnover with people leaving regularly. There's also a lot of uncertainty about the role itself and its specific duties, even with the job description already posted.

The interview process was pretty organized. It took about two or three weeks to wrap up. Initially, there was a chat with HR. After that, I got a take-home assignment. They provided the database and some existing functions, and I had to extend them to complete the task. The catch was, it was set up in a way that required working around existing code errors, rather than starting fresh, since the database and classes had to remain unchanged. It also included both backend and frontend parts, which seemed odd for a backend role. The final stage was a technical interview. They asked about OOP, which was fine, but then they gave me a live coding task during the call – something about multiplying numbers without using a multiplier. I found that overly difficult and felt like it was designed to make me fail rather than assess my actual coding skills. It didn't feel appropriate for a Senior Backend position.
