Questions d'entretien chez DialogTech

First I had a phone interview with HR where they asked about my current educational and career goals as well as proficiency in coding languages. I was then invited for an in person interview where I met with the BI analyst and was then given a tour of the office.

I will start out with the disclaimer that like many introverts, I am not particularly gifted at demonstrating my prowess as an engineer in technical screenings. Were I in the interviewer's shoes, I would not have passed me either. That being said, I do not feel that they did much to set me up for success either. The technical screenings ranged from challenging to very difficult, depending on who I was speaking with. Step one was a brief phone screening with the recruiter. Step two was a phone technical screening with the Director of Professional Services. He was very friendly and I genuinely enjoyed our conversation. Step three was a virtual "onsite" interview, which consisted of four back-to-back video calls with various engineers and members of management. Some of them were very clear about their expectations with me, such as having me talk through how I solve a problem, even if I don't arrive at the correct solution. Others tended to take a more interrogative tone and would ask open-ended questions without clear expectations, and then interrupt to ask me to answer differently. There was no take-home challenge or live coding. Again, I don't blame them for not passing me, but don't expect many softball questions. They put me through the wringer.
