I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thrive (Tewksbury, MA) in Jul 2014
Interview
Back to back interviews with hiring manager and a VP. Multiple rounds of interviews. VP interview was primarily for cultural fit with the company. He was trying to see if I'd get along and mesh well with the team - mainly looking for people with poor attitude or ego issues it seems. Hiring manager asked the more technical questions, seemed he was trying to make sure I actually knew what I was talking about instead of just listing a resume of false credentials.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical questions regarding Active Directory, Exchange, networking (VLANs and routing), IT security, and IT governance.
Interview was conducted by a senior engineer.
Made to feel relaxed, felt like more of a discussion about techologies than an interview. Was given plenty of time to answer fully or talk about related techonologies and their applications if I was unable to answer a question directly.
