I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SmartBear (Somerville, MA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Good process. Met with three different people in their office and of the same people on a second day. Straight forward, no delays in setting up. Accommodating to fit my availability. Person at the front desk was very nice and got me set up.

Question 1
Walked me to walk through my background, technical skills and responsibilities.
I was contacted by the HR department about interviewing for this position. The first scheduled phone call was rescheduled which was fine, the second interview call was missed on their end as there was a "scheduling mix up", and the 3rd was okay. I ended up going on vacation for 1 week and let the hiring manager know, however, she assured me that they were going to bring me in for an interview once I returned. I received an email on the last day of my vacation telling me that they went with other candidates. This was a frustrating experience because had she not rescheduled our first interview and missed the second one I would have gone in to interview in person.

Interview
I met with HR and then the hiring manager first. came back for the second interview to meet an extended team. seemed a little strange to meet~potential~ coworkers and I wasnt sure if those were interviews or for my benefit. I did enjoy meeting people and it was a good experience. it was the end of their quarter and it seemed very exciting and people were pretty happy and rowdy so the office experience was pretty good and it seems like a cool place
Thank so much for coming in for an interview and leaving a review! We like to have candidates meet their potential team to ensure that it’s a great fit all around. End of Quarter is certainly high energy here, so I’m glad you got to see that. Please consider us for future opportunities and best of luck with your next chapter!
