Ultimate Software Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Process Started very well. The Manager was very pleasant and i could not be more happy on that interview than that day. I had 2 bad interviews, I was about to skip this interview but i didnt. that made my day.!! I wish i had gotten an offer.

Interview Details They did a phone interview and just gathered some base information. Then they had a group/panel interview with all the managers of the department I was applying for.

The interview was pretty typical. Some questions:
Why are you leaving your current job?
Give us situations where you had to display customer service when a customer/client was not happy?
Where do you see yourself going?
What do you know about our business and the position? (Make sure you read up on this. I think it impressed them I knew so much).
What is your philosophy about customer service?

Negotiation Details – They wouldn't negotiate. They had a set rate and wouldn't budge.

Interview Details Met recruiter at Career fair, got a phone interview shortly after. Coding test could be taken in C# or my choice, Java. Not the most difficult question. Remoted in to the tester's eclipse environment, was allowed to use google, docs, etc. to simulate how I worked (I didn't ask about this and instead just kinda sat there thinking out loud for a while instead of just checking the docs and doing the solution in like 2 minutes.)

Interview Details I saw the job opening on internet and applied online. A few days later one of HR consultants contacted me view email requesting a phone interview. I was a little surprised to find out the person who would be interviewing me located in another state. We exchanged a couple of emails and set up a time for a phone interview. The interview lasted about one hour and the questions were fairly standard. She asked me about my relevant working experience, education background and why I was leaving my last employment. There were also opportunities for me to ask questions and found out more about the company. The consultant appeared to be friendly and professional. I felt positive about the interview experience.

Interview Details I applied through their website; received a phone call 5 days later to schedule an interview. I had 3 separate 1-on-1 interviews with different accounting managers. They were all very nice and the questions were more "tell me about yourself and your experience", Received a phone call 3 days later for a 2nd interview. Had 3 additional 1-on-1 interviews with other accounting staff members; interview was similar to first time. I was notified that the company had narrowed down to four final candidates, including myself, and they would have an answer within 2 weeks. Right about the 2 week mark I received an email that another candidate had been chosen.

Interview Details I went through four interviews with various managers and a side by side with another consultant. The interviews were a combination of on site and over the phone. The consultant was more of a breakdown of the job to make sure it was something I really wanted to do. It took them a pretty long time to make a decision.

Interview Details Started with a phone interview and then set up a meeting

Interview Details The first interview was with the HR recruiting manager. Almost the entire call was spent telling me how great ULTI is – benefits, after hour parties, etc. Very little about the software, customers, or the job itself. I asked about the high valuation on the stock and that threw him off. My second interview was with the person who would be my manager. The first half of the call was spent with him asking about my background and asking specific questions. I then started asking questions about the software, and he kept deflecting them. It made me uncomfortable that he couldn’t or wouldn’t answer my questions.

Reason for Declining – Looking at how high the companies PE ratio is, how reluctant the manager was in answering specific questions made me feel it was too risking to move across the country to work for such a small company. They are ranked as a company with great benefits, but the reviews of the software itself are only so-so.

Interview Details The interview process consist of 3 separate interviews. The first interview is a phone interview with a manager. It was an overview of my experience and some simple .NET questions. The second interview was an in person interview that consisted of two separate tests. The first test was a C# test. The interviewer sat me in front of a laptop running visual studio and asked me to solve an issue with a small console app he had written. The second test was a whiteboard session with a lead developer. He asked me several questions about SQL. The final part of the interview was a walk through of the facility (very impressive I may add) and a history of the company.
