I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Analytical IT Consulting (Plymouth, NH) in Mar 2021
Interview
Very easy to talk to, excellent staff. Would recommend them to anyone. The owner is friendly, intelligent and personable. They are able to handle any IT related issue, and other things that aren't even IT related!
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Analytical IT Consulting (Manchester, NH) in May 2011
Interview
Very informal and casual. We had the interview at a restaurant and had lunch. I was told not to dress extravagantly (suit and tie). I wore a button shirt, slacks with belt and shoes. A lot of the interview was focused on my goals and non-work-related experiences and hobbies. I was told later that it was more important to get a cultural and attitude fit than a technical one, and I understand why now. They asked how much I was expecting to be paid, and after I told them the amount they said the position actually paid $15K more than I was asking, and that was the amount I would be offered.
They checked all my references, and did a background check. I told them I had a misdemeanor and told them what it was, and they said they didn't care, as long as I wasn't a sex offender or involved in fraud or anything that could damage customers. No drug test; the owner said he didn't care what I did on my time, but if I came into work high there was a zero tolerance policy, it would be immediate termination. They promised to get back to me within two days whether I got the position or not, and they offered me the position two days later.
