Negotiation Details – Waiting for reply.

Interview Details – It was just as expected. Everything was from Glassdoor.

Reason for Declining – The work culture of the company is not great.

Interview Details – The senior recruiter called to do an initial phone interview. The recruiter said they wanted me to come in to do an onsite interview. Mentioned they would follow up in the coming weeks and left me with contact information. I've called back several times and even left messages but failed to return my calls. I've never heard of a representative deliberately ignore e-mails and phone calls. The kids they hire to recruit lack professionalism and it says a-lot about their company. Not only was the recruiter very unprofessional but very immature.

Interview Details – Was contacted by HR for first round. Passed that and was called for an onsite interview.
Most of the questions were from the Post above.

Interview Details – (Random note: This position was previously called "Technical Support Analyst", but they have recently changed the name to "more accurately reflect" the job.)

I applied back in late January, and didn't get a response back from the HR department until mid-April. Despite the initial slowness, they moved pretty quick once they finally contacted me. They set up a phone interview for a few days later.

The phone interview was about half an hour, mostly confirming information on my resume, asking about how much, if any, I'd be willing to travel, and a couple STAR behavioral type questions. After that, my interviewer kind of gave a rundown of the job and the next step in the interview process. Which was an on-site interview day.

The interview day was pretty much three back-to-back interviews that lasted around 40 minutes each. All three interviewers had a big bulky package full of the STAR behavioral type questions, full of only-slightly different questions.

Each of my 3 interviews were very different. One interviewer went bullet point by bullet point in her packet and expected me to answer each one, even though half of them seemed to ask the same question but reworded, and it felt very formal. Another asked about half the questions, skipping the ones that seemed too similar, and the rest of the 40 minutes was spent talking about various projects, classes I had taken, etc, and it was very conversational.

And the last one flipped through the whole packet and only asked me one question from the packet because she deemed the rest of them were "silly" and the rest of the time was spent talking about the company as a whole, the job I was interviewing for, asking about my academic history and such, and was very informal.

Took them about 2 weeks to get back in contact with a job offer after the interview day. After that they signed me up for a background check and a drug screening, standard stuff.

The interview day for this position was almost exclusively STAR behavioral questions. So make sure you are prepared to answer a LOT of those types of questions. I got the feeling that except for my first interviewer, they were more interested in trying to get a feel for me more than anything.

Negotiation Details – I was applying for an entry level spot, so there wasn't much of a negotiation

Interview Details – Was contacted by them after posting my resume on Dice, was asked to apply online. The contacting recruiter was nice and performed the initial screening in which they ask about the resume and sponsorship needs.

Said if I qualified I would get a phone interview, and that she would let me know, but hasn't contacted me. I did ask to have it on Tuesday, so maybe they'll just call without an actual scheduling, which they seem to have done with other.

Interview Details – First Round: Telephonic Interview, General Background Related Questions and some behavioral questions.
Second Round: Telephonic Interview, Questions based on resume, Designing a board game like chess/checkers. Memory management related questions, Software testing related questions.
Third Round: Onsite Interview at Kansas city

Negotiation Details – Not yet done with final round of Interview.

Interview Details – There were 3 interviews two easy and one difficult interviewers. They will ask relevant questions and then rate you on a 5 point scale.

Negotiation Details – Take it or good luck!

Interview Details – Poor interview process. The company is so focused on filling Software Engineer positions that they quickly dismissed the roles I had applied for and recommended instead that I try for a Software Engineer position (since that was my background). If my passion was Software Engineering then I would have applied for those positions. Instead, Cerner missed out on an outstanding associate in another role.
