Junior Software Developer Interview Experience - Arlington, Virginia

February 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied for a job at Booz Allen online in January 2018. A recruiter found my resume in their system and offered a phone screen for a different, but similar position. After the phone screen, I was selected to come in for an onsite interview in Northern, VA. I had two separate interviews there.

The first was an interview for a web application developer position onsite. It consisted of three team members doing a standard technical interview about Java and JavaScript. It ended with a written coding problem involving hashmaps. I did alright but wasn't able to give completely correct syntax with the coding problem.

The second interview was more personal with a hiring manager. He asked questions about what my career interests were and seemed eager to advertise me to other teams to potentially work with. It felt like this interview went very well. He gave me his contact information and I left.

I never received any contact at all from Booz Allen after this. Even the people I interviewed with ignored my emails. This is not a professional way to deal with people who have come in for an interview. I'm far from a weak candidate and since then I received multiple offers from competing companies. I will stay away from this company in the future.
