      Software Developer Interview

      31 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Reston, VA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Carahsoft (Reston, VA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      I applied through my university recruiting site. A recruiter from the company reached out to me a few days later. First, I had a brief phone interview with the recruiter, and she asked me to fill out an application via e-mail, and complete a technical test. After that, she asked when I would be available for an in-person interview. I explained that I am currently employed, but would have 4 days off the following week, so that would work best for me. They were completely unable to accommodate this, saying that none of the FOUR DAYS I had off would "work for the team," even though I gave plenty of notice on this. She suggested the week after next, which I did not have off. I followed up later, and received no response whatsoever. In the weeks before, the recruiter consistently called me throughout the workday, even though I explained multiple times that e-mail would be better during my work hours, since my employers do not know that I am looking for a new job. Additionally, she INSISTED that I do a Skype interview during work hours, even though I explained this would not be possible given my situation. I had to download Skype on my phone, pay for a subscription, and camp out in my car just to have her go over something she could have easily explained over an e-mail. She even tried to negotiate a lesser salary for me BEFORE I even had an in-person interview! Would not recommend wasting your time with this company. Clearly, they don't value your time in the slightest, so nothing makes me think that working here would be a good experience. I didn't hear back from them at all, they just seized contact.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Carahsoft (Washington, DC)

      Interview

      HR interview, talked about pay and benefits and other details. Low pay and bad benefits so I did not go through with the interview. I think making people fill out these to see salaries is bad practice.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Carahsoft

      Interview

      I went through two different interviews with recruiters where I tried to gain insight on the company as a whole as well as the individual team I was interviewing for but it just felt like they were reading off of a prompt the entire time. Felt like I didn’t gain anything out of the interview and they were extremely adamant about going back into the office ASAP and wasn’t offering any remote position
