Interview

I was contacted by the senior scientist that would be in charge of me should they offer me a position. She had no passion in her voice about her job and was cold towards me in my responses. It was as if she just wanted to get the interview over with so she could get on with her day.

Interview

Very polite people. Be prepared to answer hundreds of questions on OOP, PHP, SQL, Javascript, jQuery, CSS, and frameworks on both client and server side. It's an intensive test. Not sure if they give much credit to what you have accomplished, or can accomplish, or your problem solving abilities. They're quick in making a decision.

Interview

The interview was relaxed and to the point. The hiring supervisor and director at the time were super nice, laid back and didn't make you feel like they were waiting for any given moment to pounce on you or put you on the spot. That itself made me relaxed and easily talk about my qualifications.

Interview

Started being interviewed by two of their current QA Engineers. After about 45 minutes, the project manager and a software engineer joined in and asked question from the perspective of their positions. Finally, was joined in by the Director of Engineering who pretty much explained his expectation for the position and asked me if I had any questions. By they point, the process took a more relaxed, conversational tone.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Pathway Genomics in June 2015.

Interview

I conducted a phone interview with JR and Jaime regarding their immediate need for a seasoned Node developer. While, ultimately, I did not get the position due to lack of experience on my part, I thought the interviewers did a good job of assessing my skill set. They were both approachable and made me feel comfortable with the process. JR did a good job of describing the position and Jaime followed up with appropriate technical questions. I got the impression that they were making good architectural decisions on the project they are working on and I will casually keep an eye on the forthcoming products.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pathway Genomics (San Diego, CA) in April 2015.

Interview

I applied online and was contacted by email and asked to come in for an interview the following day. The Interview Team approached me with very grim faces. Right off the bat, it was off to a bad start. The one lady (who is retiring soon) was gracious. The other two were rude, one left early, and the other was very domineering and condescending (they still work there.) The questions they asked were very loaded and somewhat eerie and spooky. I tried to turn everything into a positive, but was hardly given a chance to explain my skills with all the negative paths they were trying to take. It seemed they wanted to end the interview early and would not let me explain my accomplishments. Why did they even ask me to come in in the first place? When asked why I was denied a position, they all simply ignored me. Weird!

Interview

Panel interview with 4 people accounting staff. Also, met with HR in a nice Conference Room. The staff was nice and talked a lot about the accounting and payroll position. I have the experience for the position but I haven't heard from them so I don't think I got the job but I really wanted it.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Pathway Genomics (San Diego, CA) in February 2012.

Interview

Original phone screening was pretty standard:
They asked questions like, if you had a number between 1 and 1000 how many tries would it take to get it right, about MVC, and other patterns. They also asked about SDLC and other things relating to development (including code versioning/repositories) etc.

A few days later, the in-person interview:
Receptionist was not so friendly. I tried to make small talk but she was more interested in playing with her cellphone.
