No Offer – Interviewed in Philadelphia, PA Apr 2009 – Reviewed May 4, 2009
Interview Details –
It took approximately six weeks from the time I applied for the position online to the initial call I received from HR to come in for an interview. I was interviwed by a group of four team members and one senior officer who appeared to be an observer for the most part.
It was the first group interview I had. That said, I thought it went pretty well. The only thing I found odd was at the intiall call, I was asked to bring in my original college degree. In my 15 plus year career, that was a first. Perhaps they have had problems in the past with persons not being to produce the credentials for which they claimed to have at time of hire.
Two plus weeks after the interview, I received a rejection letter saying I did not get the job. Would love to get feedback fro interviewers to help on my next interview. Doubt that will happen.

Declined Offer – Interviewed in May 2008 – Reviewed Apr 11, 2010
Interview Details – Interview for technical position was very informal. Interviewers knew little information about the type of position they were interviewing candidates for. Database information seemed foreign to the interviewers. Being prepared with examples of previous work was a plus. Culture of the office seemed quiet, it did not seem like much interaction between employees during the day was present.
Interview Question – Database system was provided on computer and questions explaining the schema, relationships, and overall design of the database were asked. Questions about possibly improvements or interactions with other development programs was also inquired. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The travel to the office and money offered did not make fiscal sense. It also did not seem like there was much room to grow in the company.
