Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience
Process
The first round is a pre-recorded HR round for which all questions are known:
- GPA
- Visa status
- Questions about the position
Then comes the phone interview.
The recruiter began with questions from the math section. These questions were unexpected, with many on AP, GP, probability, and other concepts. There were none on matrices, linear algebra, or calculus (I forgot my formulas!). I was disappointed.
Then there were programming questions in C, C++, and Java. All were expected and previously mentioned.
I think I couldn't go forward because I didn't do well in the math section.
Questions
Questions on Arithmetic Progressions, Geometric Progressions, and probability were unexpected. I was expecting matrices, linear algebra, or calculus.

Awesome perks. The company really cares about employees. Lot of opportunities for leadership roles. Easy switch to different teams. They are getting bigger every year, so it's exciting to be a part of the growth.Cons: The review process is too elaborate. The stakeholder plan is a major part of salary; without it, the salary looks just average.
- 1.0Too much micromanagement in EDGApplications Support Engineer • Current EmployeeNatick, Massachusetts, United StatesMay 24, 2015Pros: Modern workplace, with nice facilities including a gym and offices. Free breakfast on Wednesdays.Cons: Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten-like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get technical support done by highly qualified people, and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you frequently have to work 12-hour days, and the hard work you put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills, so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think?" is the most commonly used phrase here, and there is never any logical explanation for anything.
