Appirio interview questions

Multiple phone interviews, called back to final round interview with multiple people in person. All in all, great opportunity to get a good feel for the culture during the interview process. I didn't feel that it was overkill, but it does take a good amount of time to get all the way through the process -about a month.

I got in touch with a recruiter who I used to work with, and was accelerated to a phone screen with the hiring manager. Apparently she liked me (although thought I was too independent), so I was once again accelerated to the tech exercise (you will spend a full day on this if you do your job, but you can ask to do this over the weekend). Since I filmed a video of my tech solution, my next round was a breeze. Apparently they were impressed, hence flew me out to Indiana for a final screen with 4 people. Everyone was very brand - cenrtic, complete with swag and pitches of why Appirio has the best culture. Since I had 2 offers, I asked probing questions. Apparently that did not go over so well (see "too independent" comment above). The feedback I received is that even though I passed the skills portion with flying colors, they couldn't get a read on how I would work with their team. I still think of Stepford Wives when I recall that situation. If you interview with them, be sure to emphasize how excited you are about the opportunity and how much you *love* teamwork. I have to note that while some interviewers acted like Appirio is god's gift, the recruiting team is very timely and was a pleasure to coordinate with.
