Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Morningstar (Chicago, IL) en may 2012
Entrevista
Interview went well. But the HR never had the courtesy to even get back or pick any calls.
First was a phone interview with HR - This was more on my background.
Then there were technical and personality questions from the team - 2 of them in person.
Met the HR again, she acted very sweet, but never got back even with an email. I would appreciate if the HRs can get back even with a 'No' so that the candidate does not wait or expect.

I asked the HR contact what type of questions/assessment the interview would consist of, and they said whiteboarding technical problems. The actual interview surprisingly was questions about my experiences instead.

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Morningstar (Londres, Inglaterra) en nov 2025
Entrevista
2 hour interview with different stages:
- review of a take home technical task
- technical questions
- coding problem
- design challenge
- team fit
- questions
I didn't pass the technical part - so never got to team fit/questions stage.
But the first part felt unpleasant due to interviewers attitude.
There were 2 interviewers (Senior Software Engineers) who introduced themselves, but never given me time to introduce myself as well - I had to take initiative myself to do that.
I am not a star developer and I can understand I might have made not a very good impression, but this does not entitle interviewers to treat me without respect. In the end it's them who invited me to the interview.
Sometimes it felt like they didn't even listen to what I was answering and then telling me things as if I didn't told same things before.
