      Software Architect Interview

      Nov 27, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Charlotte, NC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TIAA (Charlotte, NC) in May 2009

      Interview

      Initial phone screens (3).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Manager was confrontational about specific aspects of technology. Specific question around a "Search Engine" in which manager stated "expert knowledge" on how it worked. However, having known the authors that designed it, I disagreed. Manager was immediately upset that anyone would question his knowledge. This is a trend - the same position has been open for 4 years now.
