I'd just like to preface this by saying this interview is not an indictment of the company or hiring process as a whole, but rather my one specific experience with this one hiring manager on one day. I only went as far as having a phone screening with their manager, but it was so bad that I feel I should let future interviewees know.

I applied online, and about four weeks later, they got back to me to set up a phone screening with some "manager." Before the phone interview with the "manager," my only point of contact was with a recruiter over email, who said they couldn't provide me much information other than what was on the job description. The only information I got from the recruiter was to set up a phone screening interview with this "manager."

A week or so later, I had my phone interview with the "manager." I put "manager" in quotations because all he said his title was, but he never elaborated on manager of what. I asked him what his title was, and all he said was, "I'm a manager," and never elaborated on what. The only questions he asked me were if I had experience in X, Y, and Z, which were straight off the job description. He should have been able to get that information from my resume, which he said he didn't have in front of him.

There were no technical questions or inquiries on my background or other experiences. I tried to ask more questions about the position, but all I got were short answers that yielded even more questions. I got a feeling like this "manager" didn't really want to interview me, based on how our 20-minute conversation went. If they found another candidate and decided to go with him or her, I would have understood if they decided to cancel the interview with me. But the whole interview felt clunky compared to other phone screening interviews I've done.

Do you have a degree in EE, experience in networking, I2C, and ASIC?
