Not the positive experience I was hoping for, given such a fantastic brand. I've done lots of interviews during my career.

I passed several very difficult ones, which were also pleasant experiences. But never before have I interviewed with such pompous and inhospitable people as this one.

The hiring manager, with whom I began the interview, was pretty rude. A couple of things he said led me to believe that he had already made his mind up before I sat down.

I think I did rather well with the questions, solving, coding, and testing them early, leaving time to discuss upgrades. But I guess you never can tell what's going on behind closed doors.

I went on to get offers from Microsoft and Google, so I'm not too bothered.

I signed an NDA, so I decline to provide details of interview questions.
