I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ives Group (Sutton, MA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Entire process was two weeks. Made it through the two initial interviews, final one was three hours and involved five different people asking multiple questions. The skills questions get harder as you answer them correctly. Very heavy on databases.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ives Group
Interview
Received a quick response after I applied and had a great phone interview with the recruiter. I received a call back pretty quickly for an in person interview. The interview was extremely long having to meet with 5 people within an hour. I felt like I got asked the same questions everytime I had to interview with a different person. Everyone seemed very personable with exception of the hiring manager. Not very personable at all. After I thought was a good interview they told me I would hear back within a week to schedule a “job shadow” that they do during the interview process. The following week I received an email stating “ I wasn’t a good fit”. I was shocked since I met all the qualifications of this job. Good luck to whomever applies to this company as the position and others are STILL available and it’s been many many months which shows how picky they are and I am sure losing a lot of great candidates. Good luck IVES group. Hope you find “ the perfect fit”.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name someone in your life who you admire and why (I thought this was a strange question for an interview but ok)
I applied online. Very friendly interview with many technical questions as well. The person performing the interview was reading from a list of technical questions. The whole process took two weeks.
