Unprofessional ghosting on part of HR. I was scheduled for an interview and they did not follow through nor respond to any further emails to reschedule or even say the position might be closed.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2009
Interview
Initial phone screen with an HR type. Once I proved I could speak English effectively, I was asked to come to the office for a round of 1:1 interviews. There were a few technical interviews, and a few more high level ones. It lasted about 4 or 5 hours. After the last interview, I was politely shown the way out and told I would get a call soon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project you have worked on and the technical challenges you overcame. What alternative designs did you consider? Why did you decide on the solution you picked?
