Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

June 1, 2012
Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The process starts with an initial phone screen.

This is followed by a succession of one-on-one interviews, which will take the whole day.

The interview begins with a tour of the office, where you will need to pretend to be impressed by the tacky fun house decor.

The highlight is an awkward lunch where you will try to eat and interview at the same time.

If you are over 35, I would not even bother applying to this company.

Questions

This company is located in a very inconvenient location.

They are not in the Loop. If you commute via Metra, you need to take a cab to get there.

They promise to reimburse transportation, but they never do. I found this to be very petty and was glad I did not accept an offer to work there.
