AppNexus Software Engineer Intern Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 1 week)

Very bad experience. After sending my resume, they first added me on Facebook. A week later, I received an email from their recruiter saying I've been selected for the 'semi-final' round. There was a serious typo in the mail, which led me to believe there will be an informal round followed by a technical one. Also they didn't setup any time for the interview saying they may call any time between 10 am to 6 pm, which I thought was very weird for a small company. So the first day I didn't receive any call, and mailed the recruiter asking her details of the process, she just wrote that I should expect a call the next day. So the next day again I sat next to the phone from 10 am, thinking this will be a technical round. I even took the phone to the bathroom when I had to go, and hastily prepared and ate lunch as I was unsure when I would receive a call. So just 15 mins before 6pm I receive a call. The guy on the phone introduced himself, asked me what I know about the company, and asked about my work experience. I gave him an overview about my past, hoping he will further inquire about the projects. After I was done with my questions, I even asked him whether he had any specific questions about my work experience. But he didn't, and said they will let me know about the next steps. 30 mins later I get an email saying I am not selected for the 'final' round. That's it?!? Complete waste of time.
