I had three interviews. First, an HR phone call with general questions. We discussed benefits. Then, the hiring manager interviewed me, asking about my experience and discussing my future goals and expectations. I'm now waiting for the offer.

Behavioral Technical Coding

Had a 30 minute call with the recruiter where they asked some pretty standard questions like 'How do you handle feedback' or 'what is your greatest strength'. Then had a 90 minute call with the team, which included the IT Director, Sustained Engineering Director, and someone I would be working with a lot.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Recruiter asked some fairly generic questions.
  • Team interview included SQL work, a process-based math test, and some observation of my work inside their math program; some of those challenge questions are hard!
  • How do you handle feedback?

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process was pretty long, about 6 weeks total with 3 rounds, and there was a lot of waiting between them. The hiring manager was very helpful and transparent. Everyone I spoke with was really warm, suggesting a great company culture. My main frustration was the final interview, which required preparing 3 different presentations on various topics. I put in a lot of work, got positive feedback throughout, but then got an email saying they went with someone else. I wish the final interview hadn't required so much work, especially if they already had someone in mind. It felt like my time was completely wasted.

The interview process was smooth and consisted of 2 steps: First, a phone interview with the HR Manager. Second, a 1.5-hour interview with the Team. Overall, it was one of the best interview experiences I've had. I accepted the offer but later had to decline it for personal family reasons.
