The recruiter was very pleasant, informative and encourging. She was very patient and understanding. She had an accent but was easy to understand. She asked good questions and rephrased the questions if I wasn't quite understanding them or needed help. The technical questions were all SQL related, some easy some a little harder but a fair exploration of my skills in that area. She also asked me about my experience in OOP, nothing too indepth just a sort of self evaluation. She said more technical questions would follow at the interview. She also said that their may be a test involved at the interview but nothing too difficult and that they don't expect you to get everything right. They like to see how you think. The company specializes in analytics and develops proprietary software. Most of their customers are in the auto industry. They have lots of international sites and tend to promote from within. She said that they have their own on line University to get certified in areas that will help in career.

This was the best interview experience I have had. Everyone I spoke to was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, especially Laura, the recruiter. I applied for the position on LinkedIn, then she reached out to me and I had a few phone calls with her about the position and the company. She was very friendly but also very professional. I asked her a lot of questions and she gave me great insight into what the position would entail, what skills are needed, the company's history, etc. I did not live in the area so she accommodated me by allowing my interviews to be on the phone and through Skype. I interviewed with the recruiter, the team I would be working for, and then completed a short logic test. The whole process was very organized and only took a few weeks from start to finish. Laura also sent me some information about Long Beach and some resources for SQL, which I really appreciated. I ended up being offered a position and accepted, in part due to the great interview experience I had.
