      Software Developer Interview

      18 Oct 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Urban Science in Oct 2011

      Interview

      The person I spoke with sounded pleasant at first, but once the person got down to asking questions, the interviewer was very nit picky and asked a lot of personality questions and only one technical question. Not only did the person ask personality questions that were repetitive in nature, but the person was so unsatisfied with my answers just because I did not adequately have these specific negative personal life experience that this person was actually so bold as to suggest I was not intent on getting a job due to my answers not matching the expectation of this said interviewer. This person was very rude and I definitely would not ever work for this company if all they value is based upon whether i have these negative personal life experience and not whether I have relevant technical experience dealing with the job position. I do not think this person even knows enough technical details to even conduct the interview as this person could not even understand the extent of what I described in my project and definitely does not understand the value of working hard to achieve deadlines; rather instead belittles the interviewee.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Long Beach, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Urban Science (Long Beach, CA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      There is first an HR phone screen, then an on-site where you go through pretty normal behavioral/technical questions and also a written paper test. People were friendly and I had no issues with the process itself, however they GHOSTED me. After making it through the entire process they couldn't even do me the courtesy of sending me a rejection email or anything. This left a rather poor taste in my mouth and I have no desire to apply to this company again.

      Question 1

      Resume rundown -- Projects, previous experience, etc.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Thank you for sharing your experience of our interview process. First, we’re glad to hear our employees were friendly during your interviews and the process itself presented no issues. However, we’re very sorry to know we failed to follow-up with you and will look into this situation. We will take steps to prevent an experience like this going forward.
