I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQ Inc. in July 2022
Interview
I had an initial phone screening with the recruiter which was more general regarding my background. As the interview ended, I was immediately set up with a more technical interview with the recruiter and a senior software engineer. In this, they presented me with a C# problem (my language of choice), and I worked through it while being able to ask questions and work with them. I felt very comfortable and it went well, taking around 30 or so minutes. We continued for another hour in which I was asked more in depth questions about my background and was able to ask questions to both of my interviewers. Unfortunately, communication after this interview was nonexistent. I was told to expect a response about further steps within the week, but never heard anything. To be fair, there was a federal holiday the weekend after my interview, and I interviewed on Friday. However, I emailed twice since then to thank them for the opportunity and later inquire if the position was still available. Months went by and nothing. Extremely disappointing considering the interview itself was absolutely wonderful.

What was one of the toughest projects you have handled (in education or in career)?

Interview
The second interview was a technical interview with two software development managers that are also developers themselves. They were incredibly personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I was asked to share my screen and complete a coding challenge, with the ability to google and ask them questions.

Question 1
I don't remember. But the questions were all relevant to the potential job, and none of the questions were those strange HR questions you get sometimes.
I applied online. I interviewed at IQ Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA) in Feb 2021
Interview
When I applied the position they reached out to me quickly and they asked some general questions via email. And then they wanted do a phone call interview and they scheduled. When I joined the scheduled interview no-one was there. I had waited 20 minutes to interviewer joins. But he did not. Even though it was very unprofessional, I emailed the interviewer to ask why he did not join or if there was any technical issues I'd like to know. I got no response. This is really unprofessional. Although I am working on a project and I am very busy; I'd tried to spare time for them.
