The interview process took about 4 weeks and consisted of: (1) an initial screen with the Director of People who approaches interviewing and on-boarding with a high degree of professionalism, (2) a self-assessment of technical skills,(3) a timed aptitude assessment, (4) a technical interview with an expert in the profession, and (5) an executive interview and brief (10 minute) presentation given to leaders who engage in the interview process openly and with the same transparency they lead the organization. The thorough and challenging interview process is critical to ensure this is an organization you will thrive in -- for their sake and yours. Those involved want to know if you’re a fit and, as a candidate, ensuring the organization is the right for you is equally important. This organization will not be right for everyone who applies. But for those who can be effective doing remote work in a flat and growing organization of experts and in a consulting role focused on Microsoft data technologies working with sometimes difficult customer situations, BlueGranite is an opportunity to grow, to work with some of the best in the industry, and to benefit from an organization that consistently invests in and celebrates your growth as a team member. The interview process will likely weed out those who say they value transparency, consultative experience, and personal growth but have not demonstrated so and my best advice is to approach it with the honesty to recognize that the fit with the employer can be more than important than landing the job.

If you do not move on to the next round, the company will not even send you an email to let you know. They will just stop contacting you with no explanation as to what happened. Below are the steps of the interview: At first they have you take two assessments that take over an hour and then they have do a phone interview. After the phone interview, there will be a skills assessment interview with one of the Senior technical employees at the company. Then you are invited back for an on-site interview.
