      Mar 15, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Wellington, Wellington
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Xero (Wellington, Wellington)

      Interview

      Online CV submission. called reciter then rejected. I had around 15 experience as a developer running agile IT teams in larger well known international financial firms. Outside of New Zealand my resume gets a great response, however It didn't make if by the first screening process at Xero. They may have been looking for more junior people or the job posting was simply part of there marketing hype. The reviewer also did not appear to understand any thing about technology and was simply looking for key words on the resume.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You don't have java script experience on your CV, we are really looking for java script expert level knowledge.
