I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rainmaker Software (Davenport, IA)
Interview
It felt like he was lacking interest maybe because of the end of the day time. I was asked a few questions and then I spent close to an hour paper testing to determine if you are a good for their company. This was somewhat futile as no instructions were given prior to the test and it ended very badly.
To be told that you are "a fundamental mismatch similar to that of a square peg trying to fit into a round hole" is grossly unprofessional. The use of that language in an interview is highly irregular and disrespectful.
I didn't walk in fresh out of high school and new to the job market, I came holding a bachelor degree and job experience.
Job seekers beware....
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rainmaker Software (Davenport, IA) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was split into two parts, wherein I met with all three owners of the company. The first part was about an hour and a half, wherein I was asked to complete an IQ test (most interviewees are asked to do this), and I was afterwards told my score. They asked me a couple of my ideas on what to do in certain types of hypothetical situations, and they asked me a good deal about myself, my personality, etc. to get a better idea of what it would be like to work with me. It felt quite a bit like a conversation you would have over dinner. After the first interview, I was called later that day and asked to come in again, where I met the main owner of the company, and had a one-on-one with him. We had a similar process the second time around, though this interview was two hours. It really felt like getting to know me, and more of a conversation between the both of us.
