CA Technologies Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Long and drawn out. Slow to hire.

Negotiation Details – Negotiate base salary.

Interview Details – Long with repeat questions about my contacts, who I know, who I can call lots of basic sales 101 stuff. Most of the questions were about the size of the deals that I have done and how I got them done, length of time that it took. Also it was very interesting that they never asked about deals I lost and what I learned from them.

Reason for Declining – The company culture turned me off and after reading a lot of the reviews on Glassdoor it became very apparent to me that this was not a home for me.

Interview Details – Initial contact with regional recruiter - very good guy and gave a lot of advice on the process and what to expect. Met with 4 different folks over the course of the interview (about 90 minutes). Recruiter, Manager, VP, and Director (of another group). Received the offer within a few days - only complaint is the background check took 3 weeks...

Negotiation Details – Negotiated a little, but had previous work relationship with manager, so was pretty smooth.

Interview Details – Phone interview with recruiter
Phone interview with hiring manager
interviews with hiring manager, then potential co-worker, then director, then vp

Interview Details – It was over 4 years ago and don't remember every little detail. All I can tell you is that it wasn't a structure interview and the manager has since left.

Interview Details – First contact was from a recruiter to do an initial phone screen. After that a 3-4 hour interview was held on-site with various people from the organization including the person who had previously held the job, which I appreciated because one of my favorite questions to ask is "who had this before and where are they?" After that it was a pretty quick turnaround to the final interview, which was with the direct hiring manager, who was remote, so it was done via video conference. The longest part of the hiring process was the ridiculously involved reference and background check. I think it took close to a month.

Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate the base salary because the manager knew I had a bonus at my previous company and my position did not qualify for one here. Also I did not qualify for a raise the next year since I had been there < 12 months. I was told there was no negotiation of vacation time, but in hindsight I wish I had tried harder.

Interview Details – In general and in a word: lengthy, but then again quite meticulous as far goes both interviewing wide and deep in the hiring organization and among the constituents.

Negotiation Details – Absolutely room to negotiate, and also relying on industry data and best practices.

Interview Details – The interview process, aside from the heat in the room, was a blast. Both interviewers were friendly, professional, and excited, both about me as a candidate, and what they do at the company.

Interview Details – Overall a good experience. Interviewers were quite good and prompting to the nearest answers given.
