      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne) in Dec 2010

      Interview

      Received a call from HR person to schedule a behavioral interview. Behavioral interview conducted by HR person and focused on characteristics that make up a good consultant. Received a call to schedule Technical Interview. Technical Interview conducted by Senior Consultant and focused in general Java Development. Received a call to schedule a Computer Science Aptitude Test (scheduled to last for 4 hours, completed in 1.5 hours). Received a call to comment on aptitude test results and schedule offer meeting. Was offered the amount I had initially indicated during the behavioral interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Apart from the business code itself, what other artifact can you use to understand the intended behavior of your business code?
      1 Answer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne)

      Interview

      3 stage interview: HR screening, Technical Interview and a Test. The first two stages are easy with questions about culture and the technology you've applied for - my case was Java. The Test is interesting as they give you about 4 hours to complete an algorithm based test that must be written by hand. The test itself will assess your ability to stay focused on a task for a period of time. It's a bit tough and you can leave the interview with a headache. Personally I don't think it distinguishes good from bad candidates.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical interview asked about Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control.
