Nelnet Interview Questions

Interview

Very good process overall. Start with a phone call, then a full application, then a small exercise related to your field. The hiring managers are very nice people and they are happy to work with you to make sure you'll be a good fit at the company.

Application

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Nelnet in December 2019.

Interview

The interview process was brief. I thought I did well but got rejected. It was for a remote position. We went over time. It was through a third party. Javascript concepts were asked mainly.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Nelnet (Highlands Ranch, CO) in November 2019.

Interview

I was contacted by a recruiter and asked to apply for this position. In initial communication the recruiter specified a large amount of compensation, but later back-pedaled that amount by over 20-thousand dollars.

The recruiter called and spoke to me about my credentials for half an hour. After that, I heard nothing for weeks. Finally, he reached out and wanted to schedule an interview for the next day.

Apparently there was some scheduling issue because my interview was cancelled the same morning I was supposed to go in, and then un-cancelled a few hours before I had to leave. A little unnerving.

The interview itself was on-site, in a small room with three other developers. They all looked at their laptops the entire time and seemed to be fielding IMs at the same time they talked to me — it was rude. After the initial greetings, the entire hour was rapid-fire questions to assess technical knowledge. I don’t know if asking flash-card style questions is really the best way to assess someone’s abilities. It was a lazy interview, and I left feeling bitter about the company.

Application

Interview

The interview for this position was the best interview I have EVER had. It was laid back and we got straight to the point. Make sure you have at least a GED or are at least working on a higher degree such as a bachelor's degree.

Application

Interview

I was scheduled by someone from HR, but was interviewed by a team lead instead. I wish I had been told this before the interview.
I thought the interview went extremely well, and the interviewer mentioned there would be a second round of interviews and I would get more info. but they went radio silent on me and wouldn't respond to my followup emails until I saw the position relisted about three weeks later.
Extremely unprofessional.
