I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2016
Interview
Here is hiring software developers of all capacity and I was fortunate to get a call through a staffing company. I had phone interview with a team member and the questions were mainly in Java/ enterprise domain. I was also asked questions on past experiences. After that I was called onsite to meet and interview with the team. I was interviewed by 2 people at a time, 2 such interviews. Their focus was on problem solving, approach, architecture, scalability, java nuances, etc.
Overall, very talented, seasoned engineers with a role that gives you good opportunity to learn big data, Hadoop, AWS, all the hot technologies.

Interview
⭐ Title: “Unprofessional post-selection experience — offer revoked after confirmation”
Pros:
Technical interviewers were knowledgeable and asked relevant DSA and Kafka questions.
The interview rounds were well-structured and timely.
Cons:
After clearing all interview rounds and receiving a confirmation email from the company, I was asked to wait for the final offer letter.
The HR team assured me multiple times that my selection was confirmed, discussed benefits and joining date, and even asked me to postpone my joining with another company.
Despite all assurances, the offer was suddenly revoked just a couple of days before joining, citing "approval issues."
They even requested to see my other company’s offer letter, which felt highly unprofessional and unnecessary.
This entire process caused financial and emotional stress, as I had already served my notice period and was depending on their confirmation.
Advice to Management:
Please maintain transparency and professionalism during post-selection processes. Once you confirm a candidate’s selection, communicate honestly if there are internal approval delays or changes. Such last-minute reversals can deeply impact a candidate’s trust and livelihood.

Interview
The guy in the panel was very rude whilst asking questions. I think that if I don't know the answer or make a mistake maybe he can note it down, but not comment on my knowledge. There was one question where he too made a mistake which I had answered correctly. The interview was on the .NET Stack with Angular but he sticked to Angular's Typescript. Didn't even go to C# or MSSQL.They knew that I wasn't going to make it through the interview then what's the point in stretching it to 1 hour 15 minutes? I could imagine how the work culture in this company will be whilst working in his team.
