I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nationwide (Des Moines, IA) in Nov 2019
Interview
Applied online and was quickly contacted about an interview. Met with two people. I was applying for a Java Developer role and they gave some simple technical questions to see how I think. One was wrote a method/function to tell if a given triangle was a equilateral, scalene, or isosceles. Fairly straight forward giving hints as you went. Even though I was applying for a Java role, they proceeded to test me on some Ruby code which I’ve never used basically to see if I could find the patterns in how the code works and/or see if I could understand unfamiliar languages quickly.
The interview was pretty casual; almost got like a good cop/bad cop vibe from it though. One of the interviewers liked to question and test almost everything I said. I feel he did this to see how I worked with people poking holes in my ideas and how I would deal with a “difficult” coworker. I wasn’t expecting this but it went well in the end once I figured out that’s what he was doing.
They ask a lot of behavioral questions which can sometimes seem a little redundant. Just try not to repeat your answer to something like that.
Was good ... was involved a phone increase with the interview panel ... there were three people in the interview panel ... was about an hour interview .. could able to do it fine... they were satisfied
