Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at OSIsoft.
Customer Support Engineer
It was a three step process: first, a casual call after meeting at a university recruiting event. Second, a 10-minute call with basic questions, then an online test with logical questions. Third, a 3-hour on-site interview with senior management.
- Tell me about a time you had a tight deadline and how you handled it.
- Can you walk me through your resume?
Product Support Engineer
We had a screening interview, then a phone interview, followed by a skill assessment. After that, there was a first interview and then a second interview. Finally, a background check was done before a job offer was extended. Lots of questions related to the job. Each interview was about an hour long with two interviewers.
- Can you tell me what you know about our company?
Customer Support Engineer
I met with a recruiter at an on-campus career fair, and they set up an interview for the following day. I felt like I did not do well at this initial interview, but somehow I got an invitation, a month later, for an in-person interview at their Philadelphia office. You basically sit in a conference room all day, and different people come in to talk to you; I met with four people in total. They range from HR, to mangers in the customer support department, to other customer support engineers. Three of them just asked questions about my resume, my experiences, and why I wanted to work for OSI. One of them asked me some problem-solving questions to solve on the white board. Overall, very friendly interview. I received a rejection exactly one week later. It was a generic email.
- How many golfballs can you fit in a school bus?
- Can you write a program to find the square root of a number?
- If you're in a boat on a pool with a rock and you throw the rock into the pool, does the water level rise or fall?
