Chicago, ILPosted May 2013 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with an initial phone interview, and then I had a face-to-face round not long after.

What stood out was that I also had to take Java online tests as part of the process, alongside the conversations. The overall difficulty felt pretty demanding, more than a typical quick screen.

By the time I reached the in-person part, it felt like the earlier testing set the tone. I went through the phone call, then the face-to-face, expecting mostly interview-style questions, but the online Java testing made it more intense than I’d anticipated. I didn’t end up with an offer, and honestly it left me feeling like the bar was higher and more test-heavy than the usual core-Java conversations.
