ProActive Technologies Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was great. They were organized and efficient. The recruiters were friendly and knew their stuff. It was an enjoyable process and the difficulty was about what I expected.

I interviewed with this company after my previous employer lost a contract. Two people were responsible for calling candidates for interviews. During my interview, the focus was more on probing my understanding of current processes and how things were done, rather than a traditional interview format. I asked about the negative Glassdoor reviews, and initially, they claimed ignorance, but upon referencing a specific review, they offered a dismissive explanation. When I inquired about benefits, they deferred providing details, stating that such information would be in an offer package. While I had seen reviews about poor benefits, it wasn't until I received the benefit details that I understood the extent of the issues. The small font size on the benefit sheet was a red flag, requiring a magnifying glass to read. Sick/Vacation time was limited to 10 days per year, combined. The 401K match was minimal, with a slow vesting schedule of 20% per year. The medical, dental, and vision coverage was inadequate, providing only about $450 per month towards services that cost around $350 more per month for employee-only basic coverage with high deductibles, resulting in a net loss even before considering dependents. Those who accepted offers reportedly had their salaries cut by about 15% and were expected to work overtime without pay. My advice if you're considering this company is to get all the benefit and expectation details upfront; you'll likely want to leave immediately. It seems like a bad company for employees.

I traveled from out of state for an in-person interview, covering my own expenses. The interview started a bit late, about 15 minutes, and began with them asking me if I had any questions. Most of the time was spent discussing why I'd want to relocate to the area, with a few questions about project management thrown in. My software development background, which the HR person had previously praised, wasn't brought up at all. I felt the interview went well though, and they mentioned they'd be in touch 'very soon.' It's been over 5 weeks, and nobody from ProActive has responded to my calls or emails. They recently reposted the job opening, so I'm guessing I'm not being considered anymore. Really unprofessional experience.

After applying, I was asked to fill out another application and send it back. Then, they scheduled an initial phone interview, but they were 20 minutes late. A week later, a second Skype interview was scheduled, but the interviewers weren't notified, so it didn't happen. They rescheduled a week later and also gave me a test. Two weeks after that, they decided not to fill the position at that time, but they keep reposting it.
