Applications Developer at Cobank
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Greenwood Village, Arapahoe, CO Feb 2010 – Reviewed Nov 11, 2011
Interview Details –
First interview was a phone call with someone from HR. Mostly this was just to get a feel of what type of person I am and if I would fit into the company.
Second interview was with people in IT. They were mostly trying to figure out where my skill set is in terms of application development, as well as how I solve problems. The problem solving aspect was almost always more important than the actual answer being correct.
The third and final interview was with my future boss. This was mostly a formality to make sure he was happy with fit on the team.
Interview Question – Answered various questions on CSS and .net MVC architecture. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Didn't negotiate. I was pretty much told by my recruiter that their offer was going to be firm.

Supervisor at Cobank
No Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2012 – Reviewed May 29, 2012
Interview Details – The phone interview was similar to the one on one interview. They asked employment history and management style. I answered the same to both, however, I was not offered the position due to lack of specific experience. Not sure how that knowledge changed from one interview to the next but that is what I was told. The questions in the one on one interview were more of what I expected from the HR phone interview. Not someone I would choose to work with had I been offered the position as her demeanor was cold and uninviting.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time you helped someone? Answer Question

Corporate Loan Group at Cobank
No Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2010 – Reviewed Oct 30, 2010
Interview Details – CoBANK has a corporate culture of making decisions by consensus and making decisions slowly. Since their customers are their shareholders (co is for co-operative), they have an incentive to think things through. This is good in that it allowed them to avoid the 2008 financial crisis. This is bad when it means that picking between the final two candidates takes weeks. Literally, the last interview was over two weeks ago and by the time they make an offer to one of us, I bet we'll both have accepted jobs elsewhere.
