      Developer Interview

      11 May 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Vancouver, BC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thinkingbox (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      Easily the most unprofessional interview experience in my life. The conversation started on LinkedIn while I was living in Toronto. Unfortunately, I had decided to move to BC to be closer to some family. After a few weeks, the internal recruiter reached out to resume the conversation since they have an office in both Toronto and Vancouver. At the time I was visiting/living on Vancouver Island for the Summer. The recruiter and I agreed to set up an interview over coffee in Vancouver. I travelled to the city and went to our designated coffee shop. 5 minutes before the interview was to take place, I got an email from the recruiter apologizing but she had forgot and wasn't in the office today. Not only was she not in the office, she wasn't in the city... or the province. Something about flight problems, and a wedding, and well quite frankly in the multiple conversations we had the story changed a little bit each time. She offered to reschedule -- I suggested a time the next morning because I'd have to begin to travel back home to the island (6-ish hour trip by car/bus/boat) the next afternoon. I got the following response "I'll check my calendar and get back to you in the next couple hours." That followup never came and it went unanswered until noon the next day. I offered to stay over in Vancouver one more day at my own cost if she could agree to meet on the next (third) morning. Recruiter apologized profusely, made jokes about coffee being on her. Showed up early the next (third) morning, got a table ... and waited... and waited. Another no show. I guess the old saying with "fool me once" really comes into play here. Shortly after I left, I received another apology and a pseudo-explanation that this wasn't their "regular MO." Whatever 😂 We settled on a phone interview something like 10 days later -- but as everyone in my circle asked me? "Why the hell would you want to work for people like that?" And they were right -- phone interview was a complete write-off, recruiter was rightfully embarrassed and I gave up on thinking they were a good company long before the call took place. Where do people get off treating people like this? I had so much respect for this company prior to this experience. This whole experience left such a bad taste in my my mouth that here I am writing this 8 months later. So, so disappointing! Any time a bad work/interview story comes up over pints with friends, now we all just say "well, at least they're not ThinkingBox!"

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thinkingbox (Vancouver, BC) in Jun 2014

      Interview

      I initially contacted Thinkingbox in response to a job posting on LinkedIn that appealed to me, with its promise of varied work and a good team atmosphere. After emailing to get in touch and arrange an quick phone call, I went in for an interview with the Director of Software Development first, then a few days later a second interview with the team (five people) who grilled me on all aspects of my development experience. Both interviews were very chatty, staying just a bit more formal than informal. It was really useful as I basically got to meet everyone I ended up working with so there was a great sense of the team and the dynamic that existed.

      Question 1

      The most difficult question was about javascript - unfortunately I'm writing this 6 months after the interview, so I can't recall the details.
