      Developer II Interview

      Feb 7, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Kansas City, MO
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nerdery (Kansas City, MO) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      I was extremely impressed with this interview process. It took a total of 2 weeks and the recruiter was always quick to send communications after each stage of the process! I received an email asking for a phone interview the day after I submitted my application online. The phone interview was the following Monday and the recruiter and I had a pretty casual conversation about my past experience with java and software development. He asked why I wanted to work at the Nerdery, whether I've ever been the lead developer of a team and how I handled it, and what I do outside of work. After the interview the recruiter sent me an email containing the details of my NAT (Nerdery Assessment Test) project. The NAT had a pretty simple specification. I was required to create a web application (won't give too many details). The project was expected to take at least 10 hours. After completing the project, I was instructed to email them a zip file of the code and host a live demo for them to test. I didn't have a web server, so I asked my assigned reviewer if he had any suggestions and he kindly sent me a list of free services for hosting java WARs. After I submitted the code and demo to the Nerdery, they took a couple days to review the project and then scheduled a code review interview which was conducted via google hangouts. The code review was friendly, but a little more stern than previous interactions. This isn't to be taken personally, they just showed me where I made mistakes and how I could have improved in some places. I was impressed with the ability to conduct such an interview over google hangouts. Two hours after the code review interview, I received an email offering me a job, which I accepted.

      Developer II Interview

      Mar 16, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nerdery (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2013

      Interview

      I went in for the 100 nerds in 100 days promo for a friend. I knew they would low-ball me if they even made an offer, so I planned on just getting my friend the 'nerd commission' and, well, maybe it would work out after all. I was interviewed by an HR person first. She was nice enough, asked the standard HR questions. She asked what I was looking for as far as salary and I named my current salary plus around 5% more. She responded by asking if I'd be OK making 15% less than I was currently making... Yeah, no thanks. We proceeded to the technical interview anyway. I was asked about general technology questions and give a small problem to work on. The questions didn't seem super relevant to the work and really they just seemed to want to know if I used all the same tooling they did. It felt sort of pointless. Afterward I said hello to a friend that worked there and left. They never made an offer. Frankly, I'm not sure how they get quality developers if they're consistently offering well below market for salary. I mean, sure, free beer I guess, but I'd rather take the cash and buy my own beer.

      Question 1

      They wanted to know if I knew what dependency injection was by asking about a specific one I'd never used before.
