I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Exiger (Silver Spring, MD) in Jul 2019
Interview
I genuinely wanted to work here, however the hiring process took way too long for me: it took nearly two months from the scheduling of the phone interview up until until the point where I withdrew from consideration. The HR representative was very friendly when I spoke to her over phone, but I had difficulty getting in touch with her over certain issues (ex. my timed assessment being sent at the wrong time). At one point I emailed for confirmation that they received my written assessment and I got no response. About two and a half weeks after I submit my written assessment, I was notified that they wanted to bring me in for an in-person interview, but they were unable to schedule me until the end of the following week. This position with Exiger was actually my first choice, however this process was taking too long and I ended up withdrawing from consideration upon receiving a different job offer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Exiger in Mar 2026
Interview
I was approached by an HR representative from Exiger, who was very kind throughout the process. However, this was probably one of the strangest and most inefficient interview processes I’ve experienced.
I went through four different assessment stages. The final step required me to go downtown for a live assessment, which I successfully passed, followed by a panel interview. After that, there was no communication for almost three weeks, until I was eventually informed that they had decided to move forward with “more qualified candidates.” What made the experience especially frustrating was the length and intensity of the process compared to the lack of transparency and communication. Overall, it felt like a significant investment of time and energy without a well-structured hiring outcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the phone screening, I was mainly asked about salary expectations, whether I knew the industry. The panel interview was largely behavioural questions. Considering the number of assessment stages involved, the overall evaluation process did not feel particularly aligned with the level of scrutiny applied.
The interview process took about a week, I had to take a test to prove my research and analysis skills, then I took a language test (for the second foreign language I speak) and also I did an interview with the company's director at that time. Overall, the experience was easy and pleasant.
The interview was really easy, a couple of questions about myself and a little bit of talking in English. Nothing you couldn't answer on the spot. Basic interviewing questions. Asked how do I manage deadlines
