I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at CSG (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2017
Interview
- Had a phone screen with the HR.
- Then I was asked to present a case study where I was asked to author user stories based on a use case around a a video player.
- I then was selected for a phone interview with the hiring manager.
- Last step I was brought in for a 1 hour 3 person panel interview with the hiring manager and two peers
- I was never told I got the job and got a generic "not selected" message from their system that I found in my SPAM folder. I followed up with the recruiter to confirm that this was true and never heard back.
