Follett Software Company Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Hingham, MA (took 3 days)

Applied directly online to them, and sent my resume to them. Within a few days I had a technical phone screen which I passed. They asked a lot of questions about my database skills which I know I nailed. And then they gave me three very basic java programs to solve. One was reversing a string, then reversing a string within the same array, and then a couple of examples of writing SQL. I nailed all of these, and I thought for sure they'd have me in for a second round, or they'd make an offer. Instead, I got an email saying that I wasn't technically strong enough. At first there was one person who asked me about my history, then gave me the test, then he and another developer came in and a VP. The developer had to be right out of college by a few years, and the manager was about the same age. The only person older than me in the room was a VP. I have to say, I thought the manager was snarky and wasn't very professional. I'd avoid this place, it seems they're very picky. Maybe that is why they still have openings 6 months later.
