      Software Developer Interview

      Jun 24, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Prince Frederick, MD
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Was contacted by a recruiter who indicated to me there was a IT position within the Prince Frederick area. I was quite surprised because I was thinking what type of IT would be in Calvert County. From the initial research it seemed this was a company who took books and created audio versions of them for public institutions (schools, libraries etc...). I went to the location in PF, MD and was greeted by their Director of IT who introduced me to a IT project manager and their CIO. Overall the experience of the interview was overall confrontational and interrogative. Upon walking through the door I already had two job offers from two different companies within the DC area. I was willing to take a "cut" to enjoy the convenience. Their CIO was very rude and seemed to cross-talk (talk over) his employees. I realized then and there that this was not the type of company I would want to work for. There was a sense of arrogance and a sense of egocentric behavior among the staff. At some point during the interview I simply answered wrong or gave incomplete answers due to my situation. I then came online and saw the reviews on Glassdoor. Everything within these reviews reflects what I was feeling in the interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They try to trick you by asking you a question (scale 1-10) your expertise level on certain IT domains. The trick is if you answer with a high scale they then test the hell out of you so they can show you that you don't know something (LOL)... In actuality you can play this type of game with anyone no matter how qualified/unqualified. It's a unfair question
