      Ruby On Rails Developer Interview

      Jul 15, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Draper, UT
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nav (Draper, UT) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      I was referred to them by a recruiter and was called in for an in-person interview. I had to sign-in, and could tell there were a few other people interviewing that week. I had a round of about 5 interviews that lasted most of the day until about 4:00pm. They said the reason I didn't get the job was my pair programming session. That surprised me a bit, because I thought I did really well at that. I think the real reason I didn't get the job was because I had a clumsy answer to one of their people-skill / culture-fit questions. Most of the employees seemed happy, and a few made some jokes that had me laughing pretty hard. They value pair programming a lot. Maybe a bit too much. I like to pair program occasionally, but I'm most efficient when I'm able to deep-dive into a project and go into the zone with my headphones on. I can do both, but I lean towards headphones-style development for 80% of my time, which is why I think I wasn't the best culture fit for them.

      Thanks for your feedback. We do value the pair programming a lot and we have had a lot of success with our engineering hiring model. Sounds like that our way of work in current stage of life didn't match the style of work that makes your most successful. As we continue to grow our engineering team, watch for future positions and if anything interests you we should have a conversation about how we operate then. Good luck on your search.
