Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had an opportunity to apply for an engineering position through a recruiter.

After a brief phone interview, I was invited to an on-site interview at their NYC office.

I was interviewed by about six to seven people, mostly would-be colleagues and managers. They asked questions about my skills, along with a series of programming questions. They also asked questions about my background.

The interview was interactive and well-organized overall.

They returned to me with their decision in about two weeks.

While I did not receive an offer from them, my experience with their recruiting process was very positive.
