Concur Technologies Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – telephone interview then multiple rounds of face to face

Interview Details – Filled out online application and received an email response within 48 hours to setup a call with HR.
Phone interview with HR went very well. Typical questions such as background, corporate travel experience, salary, position info, etc. Phone call lasted approx. 30 minutes. It went very well and I was advised that I would be advancing to the next round interviews (was told there would be approx., 4 in all) and that it would be setup within the next week or 2.

A few days later, I received an email advising that I was no longer considered for the position as they felt I was overqualified and thought I would be bored and leave the company quickly.
I tried to explain that I would not be bored and that if I thought the job was beneath me, that I would not have applied for the position.
Unfortunately, there mind was already made up and was told I was no longer being considered.

Since then, I have applied for 3 other positions in the company that I am more than qualified for and either do not get a response unless I contact them multiple times (which is absurd) OR have a contact in the company get me a response. I have decided that I will no longer apply to this company as they are almost impossible to get a foot in the door. Their loss as I know their product like the back of my hand and would be a tremendous asset.

Interview Details – From the very start, I was very impressed and happy with the interview I had with my hiring manager. The discussion lasted about three hours. The second round lasted two hours with the hiring manager and was a bit ore about the specific of the role and the projects I was going to work on.

Negotiation Details – Very quick.

Interview Details – Java Written Test - Niether completely object nor subjective. You have to write it on paper. The company is based in London edgware Road and was recently acquired by Concur. The interviewer came 30 mins late. He went throught my CV without discussing much and handed over the test.

Interview Details – I initially applied to the position online through the company website and received an email about 3 weeks later to setup a phone screen. I responded with my availability and the phone screen with the recruiter was setup for the next day and lasted 45 minutes.

I heard back the next day via email to set up another phone interview with the hiring manager for the following week. This phone interview lasted 45 minutes and focused mostly on the part of my experience that would be most compatible to the position I was applying for.

At the end of this call, the hiring manager said they would like to bring me in for an in person half day interview. I would be meeting with the hiring manager for 45 minutes, followed by a panel interview with 3 of my would be colleagues/team members the following week. The in person interviews were not easy but not overly difficult either. Everyone was very friendly and it was apparent to me all the way throughout the process that they really were looking for the right candidate for the position and a good culture fit for the company.

After this meeting was done, I received an email the next day from the recruiter stating that the feedback was positive and they would like me to do an online demo through webex for the hiring manager and the rest of the team that sells this product every day to see my presentation skills. I would have a week to study the product through a free trial account that I created. The presentation was 35 minutes and took place 8 days after it was scheduled and everyone on the call was very open, friendly and honest with their feedback.

I followed up with the recruiter 6 days later and that day I was scheduled on a call with the VP of Sales for a final interview in a few days. Three days later I received the offer.

Although this was a very grueling and thorough interview process, I enjoyed it very much. Everyone was very hospitable, upbeat and made me feel like I would be joining of a group of colleagues that I would look forward to working with every day and I am excited for the opportunity.

Interview Details – First contact is via phone with HR, then a telephonic interview and then you're invited to do a presentation and lay out your plans for your first 90 days at Concur. If all goes well you will get a job offer and you have to provide a lot of information about yourself including your salary slips of the last couple of years and you have to allow them to have an external organisation do a background check on you. It's a very lengthy and difficult process exemplifying what they are like to do business with: difficult and tough.

Negotiation Details – I was promised some fringe benefits and they were even confirmed in writing via e-mail but up until today I still haven't seen any realized. Also make sure that your variable pay is confirmed as that has a tendency to change (downward) once on-board. All in all not very trustworthy nor appreciative.

Interview Details – Two phone interviews, one with an HR person, and one with the hiring manager. HR screen was typical -- asked for a walkthrough of the recent jobs on my resume. HR person stated that I met the qualifications, and that I would be moving on to the next phase -- a brief phone call with the hiring manger. The phone interview with the hiring manager was scheduled for 45 minutes, and seemed rushed to me. An extra 15 minutes would have served both the hiring manager and me better. This seemed like a bit of a rehash of the HR screening, just a slightly deeper dive into my experience. Rumor has it that the position was filled by an internal candidate. I get the sense that the hiring manager needed to talk to an external candidate before he could offer the job to the internal candidate.

Overall, the experience was friendly and professional, with no difficult questions.

Interview Details – four different interviews with management team all over the phone. Very detailed questions about my sales methods and how i would go about prospecting new business. The opportunity is very lucative if you achieve your numbers

Negotiation Details – Not able to negotiate

Interview Details – After couple of phone interviews, was called for day long series of interviews with 5-6 people. Half of the interviews were with technical people and rest were with managers. Overall moderately difficult interview process.
