Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Process is very slow and can be drawn out over multiple weeks given the number of applicants SIG interviews regularly.
Initial interview is a 30 minute phone screen with an internal recruiter. She uses that information to determine for which positions, if any, she will present you. Next is a 45 minute phone screen with the hiring manager. This will include behavioral and technical questions. If you get beyond this, you get to the hard stuff. The next interview is in-person over a 5 hour period. You will be interviewed by 4 pairs of developers (one after the other) and one or two senior managers. The developers will ask probing technical questions and might have you write code on a whiteboard. The senior managers will ask behavioral questions.

The office includes a gym. There are some interesting people to work with.It is not high pressure if you do your job. Philly is a nice city once you get to know it.Cons: - Small salary for the industry. - Hardly any increases of your salary/bonus after you get hired. - Lots of small minded middle managers. - Despite what they claim.... I had more to teach than learn. - Too many mediocre people around compared to top prop firms or hedge funds in NYC. - High turnover (top people leave on their own for greener pastures and they usually let go, quietly, every year people who don't produce enough or have reached a high salary).
