The interview process consisted of three different steps. First, they conducted an over-the-phone interview with very basic "Why do you want to work here" type questions. Then, I was invited for the second phase of the interview process. This was a test, as described by other reviews. It was three pages long. The first page included multiple-choice short-answer questions on basic computer knowledge. The second page included multiple-choice short-answer questions on basic dental knowledge. The last page required a short essay on a topic of your choice with the additional requirement of including the correct usage of the words 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're.' Additionally, you were given a packet of 20 pattern recognition questions. These were also multiple-choice, and you had 20 minutes to complete the packet. The third phase was a more standard in-person interview with two people from HR. They created an atmosphere that made you feel like you were on trial. They sat at a table facing you, while you sat at a different table facing them. They asked standard "why do you want to work here" type questions and recorded your responses. After they finished asking me questions, they told me a developer would come by to discuss more about what a Software Engineer position would look like and ask me more questions related to this position. They left me waiting for 20 minutes. Finally, the receptionist informed me that I was free to leave. A few days later, they called me and informed me they were moving forward with other applicants. I was thoroughly disappointed with the interview process; it felt like a lot of it was redundant. Not to mention being told I would be interviewed by developers, only to be kept waiting for 20 minutes and not being given the opportunity to meet with a developer.

There are many steps to the interview that are covered in other reviews. I felt the entire process was a good over all experience and would recommend applying to work at Open Dental if you think you're qualified.
