      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Waltham, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Brainshark (Waltham, MA) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      I was contacted by the HR team members through the Monster profile. Arranged an initial phone screen interview, HR arranged * Xoom video interview with director level ** I was asked to upload a production-ready completed asp.net MVC project that involves refactoring legacy code as part of technical assessment. *** Arranged 4hr long on-site interview (with 6 members) after all above

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I am impressed with HR's ability in an arrangement of quick interviews. Senior software engineers praised the Dependency Injection technique used to refactor the technical assessment. Code walkthrough and clarifications on advanced techniques used in refactoring tasks. Their core product is still in VB6. The interview went well but no offer.
