Interviewed Sep 2009 in Broomfield, CO (took 2 days)

The interview was an initial Phone screening followed by a couple of hours on-site a few weeks later. The on-site interview consisted of a 1:1 interview with a Manager and a panel interview with team leads. The Manager interview was just the basics, what are your strengths....? The panel interview consisted of over 60 technical questions. The overall feel was fairly casual and relaxed. I was offered the position but was unable to pass a background check to their satisfaction.

Interview Questions

How do you feel about supporting a customer with no technical knowledge?
How would you verify a memory issue without replacing it?

Negotiation Details

There was not a lot of negotiation.

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.
