Average Interview

Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Boston, MA (took a day)

Initially a phone screen and an online form was submitted along with background releases.
I was flown out and all was good until the recruiter pulled me out and tried to renegotiate a previously agreed salary range which I thought was very unprofessional. I left the interview with a sour taste.
Technicals are so so but they emphasize salesmanship over skills. We were a group of 20 candidates
and no one got a job offer. Avoid Pega.....

Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed May 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took 2 days)

Recruiter contacted me via phone. I participated in a phone interview to identify my skill-set and knowledge. Provided travel to Pegasystems office in MA where there was an interview day of multiple interviews with different personnel amd also included a technical presentation. It was unorganized and additionally I wasn't told to prepare a presentation, while other candidates were told at least a week in advance and had time to prepare. Other candidates arrived with Powerpoint presentations in hand. I never heard from a representative from pegasystems afer my interview. Pegasystems did provide for all travel and related expenses, but I thought it extremely unprofessionally to have never been given a decision one way or the other on the reulsts of the interview.

Interview Questions

Technical questions without a real context. Many of them are available in reference books and have very little to do with implementation level knowledge and the ability to implement technical solutions. I don't think it really matters if a person has database return codes memorized.
