I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Datasite (Seattle, WA) in May 2013
Interview
The interview process was very slow and unorganized. Spent too much time doing phone interviews. Waffled on salary. Hiring Manager not in Seattle and waited 3 weeks before we could talk by phone. Did not come across as organized. Not sure what they were looking for. It's been 6 weeks and I have not heard anything even though I was told that I would be notified either way. Still waiting for a response. Thank you.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
there were no difficult or unexpected questions asked.
My wish to all employers is that when you interview, please follow back up. I find it daunting, demeaning and unprofessional when you say 'we'll let you know" and weeks go by and we don't hear anything back. I've made several inquiries about the status of the position and I've been ignored. I know employers are busy but just a quick email would be much appreciated.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Datasite (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
Vetted by an agent then arranged for an interview. 30 minutes multiple options technical exam, followed by an interview. London Office is pretty basic and did not appeal to me as such.
The interviewer had a poker face the entire hour and a half of the time I spent there, writing long notes. I was not sure what to make of it, it felt rather uncomfortable at first but towards the end I simply ignored him and carried on with the answers, he asked me pretty much same questions with the line "Tell me a time..." so frequent, it sounded comical.
By the end of the interview, I knew this would not be the place for me due to this strange approach, especially if it turns out to be my boss.
I applied online. I interviewed at Datasite (Saint Paul, MN)
Interview
Three days after applying online, I received an email asking what my salary qualifications were and requesting time to complete a phone interview. A few days later, I completed the 45 minute phone interview, and was asked to come on-site for an in-person interview. I had the in-person interview, and the manager mentioned that it may take a week or two to hear back, but the next step for someone moving on in the interview process would be a second interview with herself and her manager. Two hours after my interview yesterday, I was asked to come back for a second interview, and the manager also asked if she could reach out to the people that I provided as references. My second interview is Friday & I am very excited - I feel like this position is mine! I agree with the other reviewer - know your history!
