Applications Developer Interview Experience - Lexington, Massachusetts

May 1, 2009

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

It was for an internship position, and I only had one phone interview.

It was relatively low on technical questions since they were looking for someone soon.

They did go through some of my previous work. Since I had a decent portfolio for an intern, the offer was easy to get.

Questions

I wasn't expecting questions about management and teamwork since it was a technical job. Questions like how did you work with the team when deadlines were not met, or how you handled working with someone who was not a good collaborator, were asked.

Was this helpful?

Pros: * Much freedom in how you work; you are not micro-managed. * Telecommuting has some benefits.

Cons: Management cared more about utilization (number of hours worked) than what is actually produced. There was no benefit to being efficient and hard-working. Management cares more about the hourly rate of employees and thinks everyone is easily replaceable with cheap offshore labor.
