      Java Developer Interview

      15 Jun 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Charlotte, NC
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in May 2016

      Interview

      The process took about 2-3 weeks. I had an initial phone interview that included behaivoral questions and a few OOP questions specifically geared towards Java. I was offered at the end of the phone interview to come on site in Charlotte for an onsite interview, they paid for the hotel I stayed in. Very friendly people, you have breakfast and then work on a case study for 20min, very simple, then you have two 1 hour interviews, one technical where you go over your case study, no coding questions, and the other behaivoral. They also feed you lunch. My advice for the technical interview is make sure you know your stuff when it comes to Java, they ask a lot of textbook style questions that I had trouble with, it was probably what caused me not to get an offer. I was notified over a week later that I didn't get the job.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Vanguard

      Interview

      The company HR department is a mess, no one would respond your email at some point. First, an online test easy to earth that everyone can pass. Then, an HR recruiter contacts me through email asking for a phone interview appointment for the next step, I emailed back with time, and we agreed on a time. But when time comes, no one calls me at all, I waited for hours, and try to email her and call her number, no one response. Weeks later, still no response at all, I decided to call HR department to ask why, department calls on her, she then gave me feedback saying something happened and apologies to me, and re-schedule a phone interview. That round is just for general resume questions, the recruiter also set up next-round(last one on-site) interview for me in phone. Days after, I flew out to Malvern PA, the interview went with 1 behavior and 1 technical, and goes smoothly, before I leave, they said they are going to have results emailed to me in 2 weeks, but I waited for 5 weeks after the on-site, still has no response, I tried to email my recruiter, no response at all. After around the 6th week, I got an email saying I am rejected. This whole interview process took me 2 MONTH. Besides, I keep getting junk mails saying that Vanguard scheduled me travels several times, and I asked another recruiter, she told me that has nothing to do with Vanguard? just ignore them? That was my worst experience..........
