      Software Developer Interview

      10 Dec 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hull, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ideal Boilers (Hull, England)

      Interview

      The process involved 2 stage interview and practical assessment. The first stage was with a manager and a software developer were I discussed my experience and skills. The second interview was with the the manager from the first interview, a HR person and the CIO. This was a more general interview where they ask carefully selected questions designed to trip up the interviewee. One question which the CIO asked was: "Are you a geek?" To which I sat out uncomfortably :( Moving on to the hands on assessment. It was a fairly straight forward .NET program written as a console application. I had to fix a few bugs they had left in. I'd later find out I had failed the hands-on assessment which I now I hadn't which was even more disappointing .
