I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FDM Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
Recruiter told me I'd be paid $9.50 an hour during training, as much as a fast food worker. Then after training was over, salary would be 44k a year. Then told me I had the potential to make 80-130k a year after a company hires me. Very sketchy. Was surprised they never tried to get me to seek knives to my friends and family at any point during the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you team player? Pretty much "will you be our paid slave"
Screener Call with a recruiter, very basic technical assessment with programming challenges, then a video interview. Quick review of your resume and projects, very straightforward. Recieved a call from the recruiter about a week later saying the team wanted to hire me but couldn't confirm a start date yet, but probably could in the coming weeks.
For the next 6 months I received a call from FDM once per month asking me if I was still interested in the role, and informing me that they could not confirm a start date. While waiting for FDM I applied, interviewed, and received an offer for another company, which I accepted.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you've had a disagreement with a colleague, how did you resolve this?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
OA then HR then a group interview. Not very technical. The OA is easy. The HR call is basiclly just going over your resume, The group interview is like a case study.
The interview was mostly focused on my resume and past projects. They asked a few technical questions about APIs and database basics. I wasn’t able to answer one question properly, but I stayed calm and explained my approach. Overall, it went decent
