I spoke with the hiring manager over the phone. She spoke with a very thick accent which was hard to understand. Not only could I not understand, but I could barely hear to make out what was being said or asked. I turned the volume up on my phone as high as it would go, but that didn't help at all. I had to ask her to repeat almost everything she said, which put me on edge an made me nervous, because I essentially had to guess what was being asked to try my best to give an appropriate answer. At the end of the call I was given a coding test to reverse the order of words in a string. However, since I couldn't understand her I wasn't sure what she was initially asking me to do, so I wrote the wrong code. Once she clarified and I understood, then it was easy. I never heard any feedback from either the hiring manager or the recruiter. I can't say I'm surprised though. The interview went horribly.

It was standard, starting with a code challenge and then a round of manager review. Clear career path, sadly, due to the merger with Monster, not so many opportunities for growing.
