      Software Engineer Interview

      6 Apr 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Madison, WI
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Exact Sciences (Madison, WI) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      I had a phone interview and it was quite standard. Here are some example questions: asking why I liked the company, what leadership roles I had, how to deal with adversity, etc. It seems like a great up and coming company but I had received offers elsewhere closer to home.

      Software Engineer Interview

      26 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Madison, WI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Exact Sciences (Madison, WI) in Sept 2021

      Interview

      Horrible, unresponsive recruiters with little to no information regarding the job at hand. Managers put you through a long process of interviews, only to not reach out again after the process is supposedly "completed"

      Software Engineer Interview

      21 Jan 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Madison, WI
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Exact Sciences (Madison, WI) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      This was probably my favorite interview process that I've had in my relatively young career. There was no specific algorithm type portion of the interview which was very unexpected. This doesn't mean that it wasn't technical, it was just more based on specific experience. What technologies/languages I've used for what projects, design decisions of projects etc. It Had me much more comfortable because I didn't have that worry I'd come across an algorithm and have a brain fart and panic when I couldn't solve it right away. Everyone I interviewed with was smart, kind, and kept the interview process comfortable. It started with a call with the recruiter, then the direct manager for the team I'd be working on, and then a final stage of 5 back to back 30 minute interviews with different senior developers/architects each focusing on one of Exact's core values.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you describe a time there was a conflict of approaches on how to code a problem. What were the differences of opinion, and how did you decide on a final approach?
