Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter and told to sign an NDA.

The interviewer failed to call at the appointed time, so I was forced to call the recruiter to let her know.

The interviewer finally called and asked me a series of vague questions. He seemed more interested in whether I would make a good, indentured, H-1B sweatshop worker than in the R&D I do.

This seems par for the course with these H-1B companies, which is why I returned to physics R&D.

There is nothing worse than wasting your PhD in a sweatshop that turns to Infosys and Foxconn for its workers.

I admire Steve Jobs, but have little respect for Apple after this interview.

Somebody should tell Congress that the H-1B is not being used to import PhDs. It is being used to import indentured, entry-level coders.
