      Intern Interview

      Nov 11, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Columbia, MO
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CARFAX (Columbia, MO) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      I first found out about Carfax through my campus career fair where I talked to a two employees. They were friendly enough, but I was told there weren't any intern positions available, but they were nice enough to take my resume anyways. A week or so later, they contacted me and asked if I would like to interview. I had a brief phone interview a week later and then I had an on-site interview with a panel of developers where I was asked some fairly basic technical questions. That was followed by a skills test where I was paired with a developer (who is intimidatingly quiet, but very nice) and did the "intern test." Everyone was really nice and happy to sit around and chat with me. A few days after that, I received an offer and accepted.

      Question 1

      I was asked pretty basic technical questions (what is an ERD, advantages of OOP, etc) and several behavioral questions.

      Intern Interview

      May 1, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Columbia, MO
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at CARFAX (Columbia, MO) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      They first conducted an automated web cam interview. They asked 6 questions and give you 30 seconds to prepare a response before each. To me this was very awkward and I felt that I stumbled over my words a lot. Then they bring you on site for a more formal interview. The coding portion was using Java to pass a series of challenges; they want to see how well you understand OOP. They will then bring you in front of a panel of 3-7 others who will try to get to know you and your skills. Their questions to me were all over the place. After that they will have you meet with a team of managers who will ask you a lot of behavioral questions.
