Hi All. I applied to iSoftStone near the end of Jan for a position. How long did you all have to wait for a reply?

Thanks

It took about a month after applying to hear back. I signed a non disclosure agreement and it said it said the process would take 10 days. It took 3 weeks to hear something back after signing. I've taken the 2 trainings(62% and 67%) and test(84%)so far. They required a 65% for training and 80% for the test and now 80% for the production assessment. I received an email today stating I need to take the production assessment. I'm so nervous! Has anyone went through this process recently?

So, if any other W5/FN people are still looking at this thread - thoughts on the new Chrome thing? I've been using it for only a few minutes and already it seems the CPU utilisation is sky high, the graphics are blurry and they've got rid of the research option. I hope they've improved on the stability side of things at the least.

edit: Oh and they've put in a countdown timer so if you take 'too long' on a page you presumably wont be paid for the 'overtime' bit. Great.

edit 2: Another thing - seems the high CPU is caused by the fact the thing loads every single page in a set. I just found this out when loud music started playing from seemingly nowhere - it was a Youtube page at the end of a 10 LP set. Yay!

The side searches are there. Look at the top right of your screen. Working well for me.

Yes, I know about that, it would truly be useless if that wasn't there! I meant the button that was labelled research on the side search pane itself.

After a couple of days of use, I can at least say it is pretty stable. The only issue I've had is a couple of times the memory use spiralled out of control, but it only slowed things down rather than crashed so all in all pretty robust.

Hi
Similar situation here. After signing the NDA it took about almost 4 weeks to hear back from them. Was told the 3 steps to qualify i.e. Watch vdo - study guidelines, train, test. Was told to contact PM after training. So I finished the first set of training on Wed, got 61/100 so I emailed him for some more training before taking the test. It's been 2 days since and still no reply. From reading the earlier posts I assume this is normal. I wonder if I have to wait another 4 weeks to get the 2nd set of training queries..... frustrated.

Was wondering what was happening with the Find function myself. Thanks billy*bob, it makes sense now, but yes is annoying.
