Went through 3 rounds of interview including a panel interview, but did not get an offer. Received an automated negative response after all the process. However, the people were nice.

Sollicitatiegesprek
One hour phone screen with 4 interviewers. Two hour interview with panel of 3. Mostly technical questions and some personality questions. First they asked me to rate my technical ability across different topics. Then they asked a lot of questions on topics where I rated myself high. They didn't ask many questions where I rated myself as weak. They gave written requirements of a software system, and asked me to draw the database diagram on the whiteboard. Live coding assessment during the interview.

Referred by a local head-hunter. They were very diligent including offering potential interview questions, of which I fully researched beforehand. No problem with the firm, they did a nice job of introduction to the company.

Vraag 1
Too bad: Questions read off a web site to ask C# developers (Google such before you phone interview (Indianapolis) with these clowns). No desire to find out true skills. For example, if you don't know what "boxing" means, you are unqualified. Doesn't matter if you've "boxed/unboxed" a zillion times (which you/I have, we just don't know the trick question/terminology), if you don't "read off" the "answer", you clearly don't know C#, in their feeble minds. That tells me the person(s) asking the question are not qualified to make decisions on candidates.
And it tells me this company (at least with this particular organization) is not interested in solving its customers problems. They are too hung up on non-sense, instead of a willingness in solving problems and delivering value to their customers. In my case, and perhaps others, I am an extremely focused developer on delivering value to my customers. I actually get a kick out of it, and drives the very being of why I do what I do.
