I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Sprout Social (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016
Interview
The recruiter sent me a few emails, and I had not confirmed the phone call date. I checked my email again, and she had scheduled the interview for that day without confirmation. She called anyway even after I sent an email hours before asking to reschedule. She stated that she missed the email. I tried to reschedule the interview for a later date since I was busy that day, and we agreed to the next Monday. She called and had a conversation with me in which I was never rude, etc. We basically just discussed the same items that were on my resume. I asked a few short questions at the end.
I was turned down without ever reaching any of the technical interviews, which has never happened to me before as I am mostly qualified. It is fine if they did not see a fit, but I am not sure why they contacted me at all . I decided to post this interview experience after reading some of the other interview experiences that closely aligned with mine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very specific questions about the structure of my company such as how many people were on my team (wanted exact numbers), how the team was exactly structured, and exactly what we did. Lots of questions about the "exact numbers" of my current employer.
