Interview
I was contacted by a head hunter and requested to attend a first interview. Since it went well, some following interviews were proposed. The recruiter was very easy going, and the whole process was smooth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe yourself. What is the best project you have ever worked in? What was your favorite course? Describe your past experience at companies X and Y. What do you do in your free time? How do you see yourself in a few years? What is your university grade? What is your dream job? How do you see mobility? etc.
Apart from this kind of questions (which is quite common), a lot of technical and theoretical questions were asked. I was also asked to answer a technical test and resolve some problems that were presented to me. I must say that the interviews were challenging and very complete. However, no psycho-technical tests were requested.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALTEN (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
They are a global consulting company seeking to branch out into technology companies in the Seattle area. As such, they're concurrently trying to sign up the actual consulting contracts while building a pipeline of people who could staff them. In other words, there is no real position open yet.
Framed that way, the interview was primarily a get-to-know-each-other in their small executive suite in Bellevue. It was an enjoyable conversation with no real surprising questions. Given the uncertainty about their contract, there was no clear call-to-action at this time.
