I applied online. I interviewed at Rocket Software (Austin, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
Recruiter screen
Engineer screen with only behavorial questions
Take home project
In person review of take home project
The recruiter was the best I've worked with. Very fast and accomodating.
But the engineers...smh
I went into the office for the in person review with a dev and the senior dev. Neither one of them even knew what the project rubric was. They asked me what it was....WTF really?
One of them didn't even know that you can deploy to Github pages and told me that my project was wrong because I hadn't configured it to deploy to some other service.
Glad I dodged this bullet. I'm very happy where I'm at now!

Interview
Overall the process was handled very unprofessional. I got a phone call from HR at 7:30pm to discuss job opportunity and then would set up interview next day. The worst part is they do not get back to you after the interview. I followed up with HR and hiring manager and got an email back saying " we would get back to you in the next day or so"..... And after that nothing. It has been 3 months! Just be honest with your candidate! We know you are interviewing many candidates at the same time and wanted to keep everyone on the hook. We are interviewing many companies at the same time too so we understand. But please don't lie and be professional. We are bigger than you thought and can handle a rejection email. I would much prefer a " we are learning toward another candidate " rather than a email " we will get back to you later" but never does. I already landed on another job for two months and I am glad I did not work there. If this is the attitude they treat their customers/vendor/employees then I don't think it is a health environment I want to be.

Initial phone interview, where they asked about school work and projects as well as working in a group and personal projects. The interview was hosted in a conference call and there were 2 men on the other end. The interview was scheduled for 30 min and at the end the interviewers said they had other things they would have liked to talk to me, questions about other work I had done but we didn't have time.
