Very Easy Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Fri, 8 Jun 2018
Interviewed May 2,018 in Canton, MA
For the first stage, the recruiter chats with you about your resume and asks you a few basic questions before giving you a challenge. You're given three hours to learn the basics of their proprietary language and then are asked to code the Fibonacci sequence and a basic sorting algorithm.
If you do well enough, they invite you to interview as a software developer.
They also brought me in to interview as a program analyst without being explicit that was what I was coming in for. The recruiter just scheduled an interview time. At the end of the interview, they gave me a sheet and asked me to summarize what the role of the program analyst was in a paragraph. It was a really bizarre exercise since they talked at length about the role during the interview.
If you're interviewing, expect to go over your resume, transcript, and the same questions at different stages of the process. I personally found it strange that they covered the transcript in such detail and would ask questions about my study abroad.
The pay range is low 45k-55k for all employees and the benefits aren't generous (they only cover 85% of insurance). Since they code in a proprietary language, it's going to be challenging to transition to another career or to be integrated into the developer community.
