I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ipro Tech in Dec 2011
Interview
I replied to an ad on Craigslist from AZ Tech Finders which is in the same business suite as the company. I interviewed with the recruiter one morning then walked across the parking lot to IPRO where I interviewed with TJ who was the QA dept manager and Megan the Customer Service Manager. TJ is no longer there.
They asked a lot of questions about my experience. Nothing too technical, mostly they were interested in how I would approach problems. Some of the questions were obtuse with no correct answer, they were mostly geared towards how independently you could think of problems and solutions. If it was an in depth and informed response generally that went over well.
The company has an upbeat, high energy vibe but nothing too crazy. If "dad jokes" could be a company culture that would be it. Also, there's an unspoken rule not to talk about anything not conservative-religious-approved. Basically just be professional and not too telling of your personal life and you'd be fine. A co-worker was harassed because of his skin-tone gauges which were for religious purposes, he's Buddhist.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to describe how I would test a window blind for quality assurance purposes. The answer involved describing how each part individually could be tested. To think about how long the string for the blinds should be, if it posed a choking hazard, what materials should be used to prevent parts breaking and presenting hazards. Potential problems.
Basically, the more in-depth and "granular" you are the more successful you'd be in this position. Knowledge of server environments is very helpful because all of their software runs on virtual servers with threaded processes. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio was used to verify results of software outputs so knowing SQL is helpful. Their software is written in C#, good to be familiar so you can make sense of error codes when they're thrown. Knowing how to interpret cryptic errors is helpful.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ipro Tech (Phoenix, AZ) in Sep 2012
Interview
I had 2 interviews, mainly because I originally interviewed for a Support position, then I interviewed for QA and they hired me the same day. The people that I spoke with seemed to enjoy working there and spoke highly of the company
