    Corporate Recruiter Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY (US)
    No Offer
    Positive Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at AmTrust Financial (New York, NY (US)) in February 2015.

    Interview

    The interview took the path of a informal conversation. The interviewer was very nice and personal. The typical questions were asked, and at one or two points he did try to use his laid back persona to ask a few salary and comp questions. Overall, he made me feel like it was a conversation and not a one sided interview where he held all the power.

    Application

    I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AmTrust Financial.

    Interview

    Large Red Flags during the in-person interview with the Project Manager.

    The biggest red flags were the answers to a couple of my questions, but the major one:

    Who do I ask questions to?

    Red flag; essentially questions and talking with the PM (the team's immediate boss) for advice, resources/ expenditures, or problems are forbidden.

    In retrospect, I should have immediately responded by standing up to start to leave, thanking the PM for the interview and told them this position will not work for me, then walked out. Any one who gets a similar response would walk out of any interview regardless of the position.

    Application

    I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AmTrust Financial (Cleveland, OH (US)) in September 2015.

    Interview

    I was met at the front lobby by my recruiter, who then told me to go to a different floor and that he was not allowed to show me where to go. I was interviewed by four people at the same time who couldn't agree on the correctness of my answer.

    Interview Questions

    • There were more questions about SQL than any coding language. Probably a good 20:1 ratio. That aside they asked what animal I would be as if that has any bearing on how good I can write software or not.   Answer Question

    I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AmTrust Financial (Cleveland, OH (US)).

    Interview

    I came from a bootcamp so they knew our program well. It was a 2 hour on-site interview with 4 people. Lots of technical questions about how MVC, C#, webforms worked. Had a lot of fun answering the questions. There were no tricky questions and they genuinely wanted to see how you would do. Got an offer 2 hours after it ended

    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AmTrust Financial (Cleveland, OH (US)).

    Interview

    I applied directly and was contacted by a recruiter 2 days later. Interview scheduled 1 week later. I met with two team leads, and they basically just went through a list of technical questions that they said "were for HR." No behavioral questions, which was great. The questions they asked are cake for anyone who has a CS background.

    Interview Questions

    • What are the 4 tenets of OOP? What is an interface, abstract class, overload, override, types of SQL joins? Fizzbuzz, some extremely basic SQL based on a straight-forward table, and another code reading question.   Answer Question
