Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redwood City, California

Process

I was approached initially by a couple of HR folks who were okay, if not the greatest, to talk to. Next followed the hiring manager call, which was fine; he seemed to be a decent guy. Then came the onsite for a whole day (9 AM to 5 PM... really! I heard they even do a couple of insites for a few folks. Wow, pity them!).

I had the most unpleasant and disgusting interview experience anywhere in my pretty long IT career across the Bay Area. I'm just happy I didn't get into this company.

Out of all who interviewed me, I frankly felt they hired miserable folks who would obviously only prefer working with those who suited them, I guess. They just really feel they are this one big NASA facility working on technologies no one else in the Bay Area does! Wake up, guys. First, learn that we are all human first, and then engineers!

They are outright very rude, disrespectful, and disgusting! I don't want to elaborate further, but I would definitely not recommend any sane, hardworking intellects to this company ever!
