Pariveda Associate interview questions

A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. I haven't heard of the company before but after we went through what Pariveda was about, I was sold. We had a chat about my goals and current experience. Shortly after, we setup a technical interview with a principal at Pariveda. We went into a lot of the work that I currently did. They really went into in depth concepts of what I was working on. What was interesting to me was how we went into more detailed concepts that I haven't thought about and a few curveball questions. I.e. if you say you work with xml and JSON, they want to make sure you know why you are using one or the other and why. Curve ball questions are fun so take a minute to process before answering. I was then invited to come into the office I wanted to join, and met 2 VP's for a behavior interview. We went through my resume and my upcoming goals in a more conversational manner. It was low stress and even enjoyable if you want to talk about your goals and visions. Follow STAR questions. Lastly, I was invited to final whole day interview. It consisted of 3 cases, one of them being an analytical case. In addition there was another technical interview. Although challenging, if you come in with a consulting mindset, quick thinking and answering, I think you'll be fine. Case was fun! Don't think its a interview but more real life question.

The Pariveda style interview is different from any other interview I have ever had. They give you a test case to think through and solve before presenting your solution to a panel. The case is very interesting, realistic and thought provoking. The panel asks relevant and perceptive questions about your point of view, solution and thought process. They want you to walk them through your thought process while “telling the story” of what is being solved. Love it! So while the interview is quite tough, I found it to be educational and challenging in the best kind of way. It really opens you up to be introspective, creative and inventive; qualities I personally appreciate. The interview process is a valuable learning experience in itself, and offer or not, I would recommend it to anyone looking to grow both personally and professionally. My interview went really well and I got an offer within couple days.
