      Database Engineer Interview

      Jul 7, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Greenville, SC
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Benefitfocus (Greenville, SC) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      This was my second time applying to the company. Both times were arranged for by recruiters. Thinking back to the first interview everything went well but they decided not to fill the position. The second interview an in person interview at the local office; however, it was broken into several segments with different people and groups of people, as well as interviewing with personnel from out of area via teleconference. I was notified of the results fairly quickly, but had to wait nearly 3 week before starting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most of the questions were of a technical nature and related to the job I would be doing. Also discussed my past experience. Three questions really stand out in my mind: (1) What is more important, knowing the answer or knowing how to find the answer? (2) Describe your ideal job. (3) What books are you reading now. I won't spoil it by giving out the answers but now that I'm working there and looking back at who asked the questions each one was important.
