  1. Senior Software Engineer Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Arlington, VA
    Declined Offer
    Positive Experience
    Application

    I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Opower (Arlington, VA) in May 2018

    Interview

    Applied online, got a call from a recruiter within couple of days. Recruiter explained in detail what the role is about, we talked about my experience a bit and moved forward.

    Within a week got a call from a hiring manager/engineering manager for a screen sharing coding interview. Some Javascript coding tricks (hoisting, scopes) and re-implemented one of the lodash functions. The interviewer was very knowledgable and greatly navigated thru the interview. Hands down probably the best interviewer I've ever had.

    A week later another screen sharing coding interview with another senior member. Similar concept: couple of general questions and reimplement one of the lodash functionalities. Again, very positive experience.

    A week or two later, I had an onsite with three different interviewers 1:1. Two coding interviews, one general design and testing related. Again, awesome and smart people, one of the best interview experiences I've ever had. Questions aren't extremely hard ones, but a bit challenging (Javascript Promises, some algorithms, designing an app).

    I got an offer. Had I not been convinced by my current employer about new opportunities within my current company, I would have gladly joined the team.
