Applications Developer - Business Intelligence Interview Experience - Boulder, Colorado
Process
There was one interview over the phone with the hiring managers. I was considered for two positions: application development and ETL/DBA.
I was hired by the application development manager because the other manager was unavailable for the call. Because of the customer orientation of the position, I believe the interviewer was more interested in my communication skills than my technical skills. This turned out to be a correct method of evaluation, as the position is half third-tier help desk and half development with heavy emphasis on client interaction.
They made their decision very quickly, which was a great relief.
