I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adage Technologies (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
Lengthy interview process (4+ weeks). I applied online, and had 1 phone conversation with the recruiter, one coding exercise in C# via GoToMeeting session, one technical interview with head of the department, and one panel discussion with about 5 employees including HR, Project Manager, and Director of Development. All stages were very formal; seems like the main focus was customer service skills + ability to work under pressure rather than technical expertise or professional experience. Appeared that they had a certain type of employee in mind to be hired, but could not clearly communicate what should it be.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) C# exercise via GoToMeeting:
-Visual Studio solution was open, with testing classes, and 2 project classes: Customer, and Credit Card are given, with all the properties, and method. Customer can have many credit cards, with #, and expiration date each. Return count of expired credit card a customer has.
2) Technical interview - mostly questions on the frameworks/tasks you used, plus the way business processes setup in your current company/department. People who worked with customers directly have an advantage over others. Very few basic OOP questions.
3) Panel discussions - 90% are behavioral questions, only a few questions repeating the ones from #2. The most non-standard question - if you would have been an animal, what would it be, and why (?!).

Interview
My experience with the selection process was positive. From the very beginning, the communication was clear, and I always knew what to expect next. The interviews were well-organized and focused on allowing me to showcase my skills and experiences.

Question 1
The interviewers asked in-depth questions that challenged me to think critically and explain my decisions, which made me feel like they were truly interested in how I approach complex problems.
