      Senior Consultant Interview

      27 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Herndon, VA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Urban Science (Herndon, VA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      A very flaky, disorganized recruiter who does not understand that T-SQL is done in MS SQL Server contacted me, tried to talk up this ridiculous company, and convinced me to continue interviewing for this role for which I'm pretty overqualified... and warned me I would be tested in depth on SQL... I didn't go in expecting much after reading these reviews, then struggled to maintain a poker face as I was informed that this Herndon, VA, office relies entirely on business from Volkswagon... so clearly it will fold as soon as VW inevitably does... The first set of interviews were conducted professionally, but the next 2 rounds included very rude Americans who don't seem to understand how to conduct an interview. I was badgered for what were clearly very narrowly scripted answers they were seeking. I'm capable of proving with set theory notation that SQL queries used are optimal, but I wasn't asked much about SQL AND WAS NOT GIVEN THE SILLY TEST I HAD BEEN WARNED TO STUDY FOR, with an interviewer citing a "scheduling conflict". Frankly, I didn't feel like wasting another hour there just to ace SQL and logic testing, but that was basically the most infuriating, unprofessional BS I have ever witnessed...

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Long Beach, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Urban Science (Long Beach, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I am not sure if the recruiter knows what she is doing, and she seems very annoyed talking with candidates. She just rambled on and on and on... the whole interview did not go anywhere which made me feel very confused. Very unprofessional! I should have researched this company rating before accepting interviews with them.

      Anonymous employee
      Detroit, MI
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Urban Science (Detroit, MI) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Was asked many technical SQL questions, how to perform joins, transactions, and required to provide concrete answers. Also quizzed on logical problem solving by being presented various scenarios. Ex. How would you join these two sample tables together? Or What would you do if you came across a programming bug you couldn't resolve?

      Question 1

      If you had a tight deadline and hit a wall with finding a coding solution, what would you do?
