I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TransPerfect in Jan 2011
Interview
I responded to a Craigslist.org post for the position. It had been placed by a third party recruiter. The recruiter set up the interview. I met with the division head and the person who I was replacing. They were both incredibly friendly. It was a very laid back interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were very hard. All your typical ones and some basic technical questions.
What is a proxy?
What is cache?
Whats the difference between a sub-domain and a sub-directory?
very long, 5+interviews, and then they don't get back to you soon enough. HR tells you what you want to hear then they don't follow through on the benefits mentioned.
Very lenghty process with several follow ups with no response. Turnover is I understand very high. Could be a good stepping stone as a junior but that is all. Team seem alright.
I did lots of interviews, got great feedback on each one. After the final one I was ghosted for weeks without a response. I reached out and they eventually replied and lowballed me with an insulting offer, much lower than normal for the role. I will never apply to work for them again. I think they were holding out to get someone cheaper.

Question 1
There was a lot of textbook scenario questions, how would you handle this situtation etc.
