      Software Engineer Interview

      20 Sept 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Rockville, MD
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DrFirst (Rockville, MD) in Sept 2011

      Interview

      The recruiter was very friendly and pleasant. That was the only good part. I found my phone interview with the recruiter unpleasant. First, he called me twenty minutes later that scheduled. Moreover, he was aggressive to the point of rudeness. I respect tough interview questions, because it shows a company wants to hire the best people, but this was well beyond that. I thought that I had not gotten past his screening, but I was invited to come in for in person interviews. The in person interviews begin with what they say is a "personality test", but it is in actually the Wonderlic IQ Test (best known for being given to NFL players - great, I got to play "are you smarter than a defensive lineman?") I don't have a much of a problem with an IQ test, but why are they misrepresenting it as a personality test? Considering it's a software company, hiring lots of bright people, no one is going to believe it's a personality test once they take it. The actual in-person interview was as unpleasant as the phone interview. It was clear most of the interviewers had not read my resume. The President of the company came in to the interview, and actually told me he was not convinced they even needed someone to do the job for which I was interviewing, and asked me to justify it. It hardly leaves an applicant with a good feeling to learn that the President isn't convinced the company needs the job at all. After meeting with the first three of five people I was scheduled to interview with, I waited in a conference room for about ten minutes. The office admin then came in and told me I was done. I said I was supposed to meet with two other people, and she said one was "busy" and the other was "in a meeting". Perhaps that was the case, but my suspicion was that they already decided not to hire me. I could tell from the interview that they wanted someone more experienced than me. Despite feeling that the entire process had gone poorly, it took them a week to send me a "we're not interested" e-mail. Even that came from the admin, not from the recruiter.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DrFirst in Jan 2026

      Interview

      First was a recruiter call. Next was a pretty simple technical assessment on Codility. Last was an interview with the team that consisted only of technical questions and questions about my experience. There were some technical issues with the meeting and I had to call in alongside my computer. I wish that I had spent more time showing them my personal projects.
