I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safelite AutoGlass in Aug 2010
Interview
First, there was a phone call by an HR person, gauging my social and verbal skills. The conductor emphasized the friendly work environment and community-like office relations. During this phone conversation, very little was done in terms of interviewing, just some on-the-spot type of questions from my resume to confirm the accuracy.
There was a second phone interview, technical, with one of the developers then I was transferred back to the HR representative to schedule an in person interview.
The in person interview had 3 parts. First, I met with the team of developers I would be working with, they asked several questions, much like the first and second phone interviews, gauging again my personal communication skills, letting me talk about my experiences, and explaining the work that they do. Then, a smaller group of people, including a manager stayed in the room and conducted an in-depth problem solving and coding interview where I was asked the basic technical questions, and was also asked to solve 3-4 programming problems in a specific language on the white board, as well as brainstorm my ideas of a software solution for a problem they brought up. The team left the room to talk, and I was again interviewed by the HR rep and was told they would contact me with a follow up interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explaining the entire solution, at a code level, to a generic routing and scheduling of a fleet of trucks (for repairs) including inventory management on the fly was a bit silly.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Safelite AutoGlass (Chandler, AZ) in May 2012
Interview
I filled out and online application and then was asked to complete a 100 question personality test had 6 possible answers to each question agree -somewhat agree-do not agree-really do not agree-somewhat disagree etc
I question was about if you ordered something and the wrong item was sent and the company wanted you to return the item at your expensive how would you react. There were several questions attached to this scenario and some of the questions really depended on additional information that was missing.
I failed one section of this test and was escorted out and told to reapply in 90 days.
It seemed like a very hard job because you would be monitored very closely on the phone and if you were late a few times you would be fired. I could not help but feel it was very political there.
