Beware of this interview! –This is not a trainee level position as advertised. Be prepared to write code very quickly!--
This described what I experienced during an interview for this position on 2/8/2022:
The virtual meeting was joined by two individuals and very brief introductions were completed.
I introduced myself, relevant work experience, education, and history
The interviewers were not interested in data analysis experience as previously mentioned on the job posting
I was asked about my history with programming and specifically what I knew about Python
While briefly explaining my coding history I was interrupted by a very rude late comer to the meeting and hotspot asked to code which I was not prepared for.
Upon viewing a function I wrote as a back-end call to a MongoDB database the latecomer cut off questions from the other interviewers, and indicated that I was not a right fit for this job, because it looked like I was a front end developer, and not fit to be trained to write functions to upload to S3 buckets on AWS.
The whole experience was awful, and not in line with the Boos Allen values of Ferocious integrity, Unflinching courage, Passionate service, and Champions heart.
--If you want the 70-90k entry salary here is my advice on how to pass the interview:
Practice coding functions to upload data to S3 buckets, and be prepared to type out the code in real time. These people will not believe that you can be trained even if you have a masters degree.
Write code for us in real time.
