      BI Developer Interview

      Dec 4, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Branchville, NJ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Selective Insurance (Branchville, NJ)

      Interview

      Standard interview questions, (provide background, tell us how you found the job), then into the technical aspects of the position. Interviewed with 2 people first, then 2 more on an individual basis. Total interview took 2 1/2 hours. Questions were somewhat prying, as to insinuate or skeptical of your skill levels not meeting requirements. I got a question about "what is the difference between inner/outer join in SQL?", and to someone who is an established SQL writer it's like asking "You know how to tie your shoes?" Also had some strange behavioral/personal questions.. "If I was a bird, what would I be and why?. Poor interview tactics. Voluntarily withdrew from posting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "If you were a bird, what bird would you be and why?"
      Answer question
