I interviewed at The Hartford (Windsor, CT) in Aug 2013
Interview
interview by incompetent so called team leaders don't think they know much technical info to ask about. Didn't know at time they were incompetent until working with them. Team leaders are obviously political appointees and dept is a mess
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your strengths and weakness, experience in various skills used in the job and other experience questions
First step was screening
2nd round: Interviewed with a manager and a member of the team, I was asked a lot of cloud related questions, and was asked to design an API
3rd round: Interviewed with other managers, asked questions about projects and experiences from my resume.
Even though I got to last round. The reject email was an automated email, I was expecting the recruiter to send a personalized email.

Question 1
Design an API using any programming Language.
How would you prepare your servers to handle a sudden bust of traffics (think e-commerce website on Black Friday)
I got scheduled for a phone interview, (I dont live in the same state where they are located). The interview was simple, behavioral questions, then asked me about my resume. Told me they would forward my resume to the hiring manager, and if they liked what they saw they would schedule me for a technical interview.

Question 1
Behavioral questions, and to talk about projects I had on my resume as well as talk about other projects im currently working on (if any).
Interview process took almost more than five weeks due to holiday season. But it was an easy interview and a well responsive HR I have ever seen in my experience. Overall very good experience during the interview process.
