Pure Incubation interview questions

May 2013. I was coming down from Vermont so several in-person interviews weren't an option, and they knew that. I had two phone interviews, the first with the technical lead and the male 1/2 owner. The second phone interview was with the female 1/2 owner. Both went well, they liked my experience and personality and soon put me up for a night at the Double Tree outside Topsfield for in-person interviews. At the in-person interview I was feeling quite confident, I knew I could do the job and that I more than exceeded the position's requirements. Piece of cake, shoe-in. The male 1/2 owner told me I was at the top of their list. I had to know because my time window to move from Vermont to Mass was closing. They didn't waste my time with technical questions, and I appreciated that. They knew I could do the job, and I knew as well. They focused more on my personality, and I appreciated that. It's a small company, they really pride themselves on finding people who are as much a culture fit as a position fit. I left expecting an offer in the 80K range. Two days later, my recruiter told me they where looking at other options, just to be sure. Two days later, I received an email from the two owners letting me know they where going to "go in a different direction" or something along those lines. I was a bit surprised but I definitely appreciated them letting me know directly and as soon as the decision was made. I emailed the technical lead a few months later, after accepting a position elsewhere in Boston. He told me the person they pursued had more interest in the company than I did. That was probably true, I don't care about business and they wanted someone who could do both business and app development. I don't know if they ever filled the position, another review on here from August 2013 indicates they where still looking. I'm working in the city now instead of Topsfield and I'm really glad for that. In retrospect, working at Pure Incubation would have been really boring for me. Nice people, but it's a boring company doing boring things. To each their own, but I spent six years prior developing data driven apps. I didn't want six years more of that.
