I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Integrate (Phoenix, AZ) in Jun 2020
Interview
I was referred to the position by an Integrate employee who I had previously worked with.
First spoke with the Integrate recuiter. Then I interviewed over the phone with software development team members, the VP of Engineering, and the CTO.
Interviews were refreshingly personal -- few behavioral questions and random tech questions to assess knowledge, and more probing questions to prompt me to discuss my experiences and my methods and philosophies regarding software development.
Probably the best interviewing experience I have had with any company in my 25 years of software development.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Integrate (Birmingham, AL) in Jun 2020
Interview
The process was thorough and gave me a detailed view of many aspects of Integrate: engineering, culture, people development, executives, etc. I felt both that I was getting to know Integrate and that they genuinely wanted to know me. This personal touch separated them from other companies I was talking to at the time. They assessed both the technical skills I would need for the role and whether or not I would be a good fit in the company's culture.
During the interview process, one of my children was going through a major health issue. I wanted to make absolutely sure that Integrate's medical insurance would cover her care during and after my transition. Integrate went out of their way to schedule conversations with senior human resource representatives to make sure my child would be taken care of. I could tell they cared about my family, even to the point of wanting me to stay at my previous employer if it meant my daughter would be better cared for. (Thankfully, their medical insurance is great, so I was able to join the team.)
