      Senior .NET Developer Interview

      21 Feb 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ewing, NJ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merrill (Ewing, NJ) in Jan 2010

      Interview

      Found the initial job description through a job posting on LinkedIn by a recruiter. I submitted my resume, but didn't get a call back from the recruiter, so I called him. This had the desired effect and got me the attention I needed. After being screened by both the recruiter and his manager, this got me another phone screen interview with an employee of the hiring department This employee called me up and started asking me a series of javascript trivia questions, like what you might find here (http://vikasrao.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/common-javascript-interview-questions/) I thought I did very badly on the quiz, since I don't think it's a good use of time to try to memorize code trivia, but I tried to answer the best I could, which landed me a face to face interview with the department. They kept me there for something like 5 hours, which I thought was overkill, and a waste of everybody's time, since it was apparent that they wanted someone who was more strictly a UI person with deep Javascript and CSS not a .NET server-side person, even though the job description did not make that at all clear. However, I hung in there and kept answering questions to the best of my ability using specific answers when possible, but mostly high level answers. Some answers I didn't know at all At the time I didn't know much about debugging JS and CSS with FireBug, and that was part of the technical test that was given on the spot. I did well on the part of the interview with the Director, but not as well with the technical team, so I did not get an offer. I would do a lot better on that interview today.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was asked how I would to solve a rendering problem on a page with a graphical UI that included an interactive JavaScript Bar chart that wasn't behaving correctly.
