    Interview

    I was asked to do a Skype interview with the IT Early Developmental recruiter. It was an absolute pleasure speaking with the recruiter, really made me excited. I was given a Hackerrank assessment. The questions were fair, but I had some internet issues and lost a good chunk of time. I do not expect to proceed to the next step, but I am grateful for the opportunity.

    I applied online. I interviewed at John Deere in July 2020.

    Interview

    Had an initial phone screening with recruiter. The interview was very pleasant and insightful. Received a HackerRank assessment and needed to complete it within a week. I had internet trouble as it kept disconnecting and reconnecting, and lost a good chunk of time. The questions were fairly easy to complete, but I could not as I did not have enough time. I do not believe I will get a call back.
