I applied through university. I interviewed at Performance Software (Phoenix, AZ) in Apr 2021
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter a few days after applying. It was a simple screen to determine what classes/concepts I was exposed to.
I got a phone interview a few weeks later. It consisted of simple questions regarding my resume and courses I've taken with a focus on data structures and algorithms. They wanted to give an "assignment" that that required delivering them 4 documents (software requirements, software design, pseudo-code implementation, and software test plan). After I delivered the document they scheduled for a virtual interview.
They also provided several tips regarding the interview.
resume questions: no gotcha questions
present document: pause to allow for questions. try for 15 minutes.
behavior questions: tell me about a time when …
your questions: self explanatory.
About an hour before the interview I received a call with them stating that "something came up" and they have to cancel but assured me that they would reschedule. After they never called back when they said they would I reached out but was unable to get a hold of them. I never heard back from them.
NOTE: They wasted hours of my time to never give me the chance to present my documents/interview them (plan accordingly).
Very nice clean process. The whole interview had a great flow, everyone was very nice and friendly. I was stressed going into it but the environment made me feel very comfortable and confident.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Performance Software in Feb 2023

Interviewer ended up getting covid and I didn’t get a response until I asked about 2 weeks later. Was told positions were filled, so basically just a big waste of time and kept me waiting with no communication.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some stuff ahout resume, then asking about the company then assignment.
Hello, yes, unfortunately, our recruiter suddenly was very sick with covid, so the process was delayed. We have since put a plan in place should the recruiter get ill again from an unexpected illness. Best of luck to you with finding an internship.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Performance Software (Iowa City, IA) in Jan 2022
Interview
There was an assignment to make a software design doc, software requirement doc, and pseudo code for a garage door opener software. They said to take 4 hour on it.
Got a call back for a 1 and a half hour interview. Was told that I was going to be talking to two people, instead it was five.
Felt like a too much of a time commitment just for interviewing.
