Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts

Process

Totally disappointed with the company.

Two days after I finished my on-site interview, I was called by HR and informed that I had cleared the interview. They said they would provide the final offer after my background check was completed.

I waited for almost three weeks, very confident of getting this job. I had done nothing wrong that would lead to rejection in a background check, and it would be very stupid if I had.

I even stopped applying to other companies and rejected a few offers, only to be told later that I was not suitable for this position and could still apply for others. This was the lamest thing I have ever heard.

I mean, how can anyone be rejected in a background check?

They are just wasting our valuable time by interviewing us and making us wait for weeks, then coming up with sad excuses to get rid of us.

I would not recommend anyone waste their time trying to get into this bull crap. This is my honest advice.

Questions

The questions were not even different. It's all here. I guess every interviewer is given a list of questions they should ask, and the interviewers just blindly follow it.

If you are still planning to join this company, make sure you are thorough with all the sets of questions up here on Glassdoor. You will be able to crack the on-site interview.

P.S. – You still might not be guaranteed an offer (like what happened to me. Yeah, not just me; they did this to my friend too, which was the most irritating part).
