This interview experience was definitely one of the worst that I have ever seen. First you will receive an aptitude test that is extremely similar to the average IQ test and that they use to somehow judge a candidate's fit for the position even though the questions could barely draw any parallels to the day-to-day responsibilities of the position. After that, a phone interview is conducted and it is an average experience with some irrelevant questions that I assume all Publix candidates must be asked. The real issues began with the technical interview. The interview consisted of two people, the hiring manager and another System Analyst. It is basically a barrage of technical questions that really didn't seem to entirely match up with the job description. Approximately 80% of the questions were related to database management and seemed to be geared towards a DBA position, which would be fine, if they were actually advertising it as such. The other 20% of the questions asked were related to the actual job description but were questions that really didn't seem to determine your software development skills. Rather they were geared towards how well you can remember and regurgitate specific syntax or if you can describe an incredibly dated technology that existed prior to the existence of the tools/technologies that they were requesting which I can only assume means that they are incredibly far behind technologically. To make the experience even worse, the interviewer was almost impossible to understand due to a very thick accent and I found myself asking for almost every question to be repeated due to that. There were also no questions asked about past experience or problem-solving scenarios (i.e. questions you would expect to see in any good interview). When it was time for me to ask technical questions to the interviewer, it was very surprising to see that they were unaware of some the technologies/tools that they were asking for or just did not some of the most basic tools/skills this position should require. Overall, this seems like a bullet was dodged.
