Emerald Associates interview questions

Overall bad interview experience. I applied online the received a pre-screen fairly quickly. It was 3 coding questions that took about 1 hour to complete. The interviewer then followed up with a call a few days later. After actually reading my resume while on the call he said they wouldn't be interested because I won't graduate for three months. He suggested I apply once I've graduated but I told him I wouldn't be interested at that point as I had other opportunities available. He responded by asking me to complete the extended coding assignment. The extended coding assignment was more system design, it took about three hours. I had just written a systems design final exam a few days prior so I was confident in my answers. I also had to complete a post-mortem. In the end I received no response. Waste of time.

the process was very reasonable. It started with a 1 hour pre-screen, then was followed with an online personality profile questionnaire and then a 2 hour face-to-face interview with a few follow up questions and a reference check. It was very open and honest about the company dynamics.
