      Senior Software Developer Interview

      Oct 28, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Boston, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pearson (Boston, MA) in Jun 2010

      Interview

      Did a phone interview. During the phone interview I was invited to come in for an in-person interview. The in-person interview consisted of meeting with several different people in the team I was to be joining (usually 1 or 2 people). At one point I sat down with the head of the group and was verbally quizzed on some very technical aspects of what approaches I would take to solve a particular problem. This was an informal test, but it was clearly a test. After this I received a phone call about 2 or 3 days later with an initial offer. I countered, and received a second offer the same day. Accepted the second offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Discuss the features of an n-tier architecture for (a particular problem that I don't recall). What would belong at each tier?

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pearson in Feb 2026

      Interview

      First had a screening call with a Pearson recruiter. Technical interview was a deep technical conversation about resume and previous work experience with Tech Lead and Senior Software Engineer. I was expecting live coding based on conversations with the recruiter but it was largely just technical discussions.
