Anonymous Employee
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Parallels in Jun 2017
Interviewed with four other managers. Super friendly group and seemed like a great group to join. Very personable which is one of the things I look for first. I did end up getting an offer and took the job
- Why I would leave consulting for a permanent job

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Parallels in Sep 2016
The interview lasted almost 6 weeks, most intense interview I have ever experienced. I interviewed in Moscow, the HR lady was nice but in the end she forgot to inform me of the results.
- Broad knowledge of CCNA is required

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Parallels
At first was questions about my life, not technical. Technical was only few questions - about sql optimization, architect moments, common question about web development process. After that was interview with director - common question about life and etc.

Anonymous Employee in Renton, WA
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Parallels (Renton, WA) in Apr 2016
Simple questions was asked and answered quickly. I don't know how can i spend 30 words to describe simple action. I am not a poet. I am not a writer. So can we skip this part?
- Test a calculator on the paper, test teapot

Anonymous Employee in Moscow, Moskva
I applied through an employee referral I interviewed at Parallels (Moscow, Moskva)
The interview process was great. Scott did an excellent job keeping me in "the loop" in terms of the overall schedule and setting expectations around the entire process from interview to potential offer. The team asked the tough questions but also painted a clear picture of the role, what they were looking for and what it can be like working for a global company like Parallels.
- The questions were very targeted around HR Programs and Processes. However, it was also clearly an interview to ensure I was a good fit for the team dynamic.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Moscow, Moskva
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Parallels (Moscow, Moskva) in Jan 2015
Got a call from a recruiting agency. In my case there were 2 steps (both Skype interviews ~1 hour each): 1) Technical specialist, CV review - asked questions regarding my background, basing on CV and field of work 2) Technical interview - some tasks without writing any code: "how would you solve this task", "describe design of the system basing on the following requirements", etc. After 2nd interview they finally realized that they need a specialist with other programming language experience.
- You have a text, print all words in acsending order basing on their frequencies
- Design a system, which reads filesystem for incoming tasks and then processes them. How would you ensure optimal performance?

Anonymous Employee in Nizhniy Novgorod
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Parallels (Nizhniy Novgorod)
Process was quite fast. Company very flexible and appraisal in the way to get you on board. All people seems very enthusiastic and sounds like a great team to be in.
- Typical questions about customer unhappy or how to manage projects.
