CareerBuilder Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Interviewed with entire team, product manager and senior media managers. Hired as a contractor first then after nine months became a FT employee

Interview Details – I filled out an application online in the afternoon and essentially received a follow up e-mail that same evening informing me the original internship position had been filled (front end developer) but a more general software internship position was open. I was of course very interested, and the HR rep informed me she would be calling the next day at 3. She kept her word and called on time. While I lacked experience (I only have 2 semesters of Java under my belt), she said my enthusiasm and passion nudged her towards setting up an interview with a hiring manager.

The actual interview occurred the next week. I was asked why I became a CS major, to tell them about any projects I had done, and asked an object-oriented related question. Afterwards, I was asked to code a method. After that, I was allowed to ask the two interviewers questions of my own. I was then given a tour of the IT department and then left.

Interview Details – First talk is with a recruiter over the phone, then after passing that screening phone interview with single manager. From there, either in-person with hiring manager or with a group of hiring managers. Typically follow-up in person interview with hiring manager and sometimes with his/her supervisor where final decision is made. B2B Sales experience is focused on, business driven, amount of quota/growth responsible for in previous roles, professional dress and demeanor, overall communication skills, and agility are keyed in on.

Negotiation Details – Not much of a negotiation phase.. comp plan is pretty cut and dry and relcoation was not required, though it can be offered to experienced candidates.

Interview Details – My first interview was with 2 manager in the division. The interview was very basic and straight forward.

The send interview they want me to present a company to them. They gave me a situation prior to the meeting and they wanted to see how I would approach the opportunity

Negotiation Details – I found that CareerBuilder was very fair and generous with their offerings. I don't think their is much room for negotiation.

Interview Details – I had three interviews. The first was a low stress phone interview where I was mostly asked about my background and why I liked Computer Science. I was called back the same day and asked to come to an on site interview with two team leads.

For the second interview I was asked about projects I'd worked on and various OO questions. I was then asked to write some code on a whiteboard. In this case I had to write a function that would take in a string and determine whether or not it was a palindrome. I could use any language I wanted and I was told they weren't concerned about it being syntactically correct as long as I could explain what I was doing.

I was then called back for a second round of interviews, this time a with two different teams. This interview went pretty much like the first, with more questions around past projects and OO programming. The first team asked me a very difficult question about quickly accessing data for an autocomplete function. I eventually got to the correct answer but not without lots and lots of hints. They later admitted that they usually don't ask entry level candidates this question. The second team asked me to write a function that would take in an integer and return a word (e.g. pass in "23" and return "twenty three").

I didn't think I had done that well with the second interview so I was very surprised to get a call with a job offer later that day.

Negotiation Details – I didn't negotiate. The offers are pretty standard for entry level hires.

Interview Details – Initial interview was on the phone with HR person. First in person was with the team lead, who discussed the role and basically asked if I was interested and motivated. Met with a manager and was offered the job.

Interview Details – I was contacted after submitting my reumse to Careerbuiler by a recruiter. I completed a phone interview and was asked to come in for a face-to-face pannel interview. After completing the panel interview I was asked to come back and meet with the Director of the Dept. for a final face to face intervew (formality), upon such meeting I was extended an offer and I accepted.

Interview Details – The interview was great and immediately made me excited to work here. I got all the info I needed and could feel the excitement of the employees that interviewed me and that they genuinely loved their jobs. I came in as a contractor (pretty common for a non-sales role here) and was hired permanently a few months later

Interview Details – First was interviewed over the phone, general questions. A week later I was called in for a second interview at their office. Consisted of technical questions, data structures and a couple of white board questions. The whole process went great but in the end they decided to take on someone graduating early than I was.
