Difficult Interview

Overall Neutral Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 weeks)

I applied through my school's career website. They emailed me to schedule a phone interview like 2 weeks from that date. It consisted of a 30 min. behavioral & a 30 min. case interview. The HR lady that did the behavioral part seemed new. I felt like she wanted more than I was telling her. The second guy was more knowledgeable about software so that was cool.

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 5 days)

I submitted my resume online through their website. It took several weeks and I had forgotten about them when they finally emailed to setup a phone interview. The interview was in two parts 1) a 30 minute behavioral interview. They asked about a time when you worked in a team and it didn't go so well, blah blah blah. 2) 30 minute technical interview. They posed a CS problem and then gave me 10 minutes to do it on my own. Then they called back and asked me Big-O questions about my algorithm and how it would change if some things were modified.

Interview Questions

Name a time when you worked in a team and the dynamic didn't work out so well. Name a time when the project goals were not clearly defined. Name a time when you were overly stressed.

Answer Question

Given a list of words, find the word that appears most frequently.
