I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TransPerfect in Jan 2011
Interview
I responded to a Craigslist.org post for the position. It had been placed by a third party recruiter. The recruiter set up the interview. I met with the division head and the person who I was replacing. They were both incredibly friendly. It was a very laid back interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were very hard. All your typical ones and some basic technical questions.
What is a proxy?
What is cache?
Whats the difference between a sub-domain and a sub-directory?
very long, 5+interviews, and then they don't get back to you soon enough. HR tells you what you want to hear then they don't follow through on the benefits mentioned.
I interviewed at TransPerfect (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Very lenghty process with several follow ups with no response. Turnover is I understand very high. Could be a good stepping stone as a junior but that is all. Team seem alright.
I did lots of interviews, got great feedback on each one. After the final one I was ghosted for weeks without a response. I reached out and they eventually replied and lowballed me with an insulting offer, much lower than normal for the role. I will never apply to work for them again. I think they were holding out to get someone cheaper.

Question 1
There was a lot of textbook scenario questions, how would you handle this situtation etc.
