I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emerson Ecologics in Aug 2019
Interview
Had a recruiter reach out to me for this role. First step was to complete a coding challenge. Then i had to explain my project. I was hesitant to interview here because of their poor Glassdoor reviews but i went ahead anyways. In hindsight i shouldn't have bothered to, they have such poor reviews for a reason. STAY AWAY !

Question 1
Create a Galactic Directory of people in the Star Wars universe using the Star Wars API (yeah, that's a thing. swapi).
Design and implement a web application with an AngularJS (1.x) frontend and an ASP.NET Core backend, that meets the following requirements:
● Displays a paginated list of people, with some brief details for each.
● There should be a backend to provide functionality such as caching, aggregation, etc.
● Tolerant of errors due to API failure, network lag/timeout, etc.
● Allows a person to be selected, and displays more detailed information about them.
● Allows the person’s details to be modified, and saved.
○ The public API is read-only, so changes will need to be persisted within the application.
○ You can choose any method for persisting the data -- memory, filesystem, database, etc.
○ Bonus points if it’s SQL Server.
● In the future we might expand to include other entities (ships, planets, etc.), so make sure your design and implementation are extensible.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We do a code challenge as part of the process for all of our developer roles. It's an opportunity for you to showcase your skills and work with the team to show how you got there. It's also an opportunity to make sure you fit within the team.

The interview was typical. Applied through online. Received a phone screen afterward. Basic question asking your background and why you are interested. Then you go in for a long 2+ hours in person interview with people of the department. Mainly asking questions about programming and how you tackle them.

Question 1
What is the difference between relational and non-relational database
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emerson Ecologics (Manchester, NH) in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview process was pleasant but arduous. All said and done, I interviewed in person 3 times, had a technical screening, a phone interview, and an online technical test. The people I interviewed with were very pleasant and had no problem setting realistic expectations for the position. I believe the interview process has since been streamlined, so I think it likely future interviewees will find the process even more pleasant than I did.
