Exa Corporation interview questions

Applied online in February by emailing resume, cover letter and references directly to the company. The HR department reached out to me three months later, in May, to schedule a half-hour preliminary/HR interview call. The scheduling was extremely unprofessional. The recruiter failed to call me at the scheduled time *twice*, and I had to reach out both times to them to reschedule. We finally connected on the third scheduled call. The preliminary interview was straightforward. It was just a discussion of my qualifications and the details of the position I applied to. There were no behavioral traditional HR questions. After the prelim interview, I was advanced to an hour-long technical interview on the phone. This was another relatively straightforward conversation about my background, though in greater technical detail than before. At the end of the interview, I was asked some object-oriented programming and algorithms quiz questions. I felt that both the HR and technical interviews went well, and I was able to demonstrate my subject-matter knowledge in my answers. However the company completely ghosted me after the technical interview. I reached out twice to inquire about the next steps, express my interest and ask if I am still in consideration. I would have at least appreciated being told that they are moving on and looking at other candidates. What I got instead was complete radio silence. Overall I felt that Exa's hiring process is incredibly unprofessional and frustrating. I will not be applying for any positions with this company in the future.

I was called for an onsite interview. The interview consisted of a presentation and around 5 one on one sessions. I was converting to a fulltime position.The interview was relaxed and quite comfortable and I learned a lot about the position.
