Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.
The first set of interviewers were really nice and helpful, but the second set of interviewers made me lose faith in humanity. They were interviewing to ask questions and not listen to answers. At one point, I lost all confidence to answer anything. The interview was supposed to be for an hour, but they stretched it to 2.5 hours, and that too late in the evening. Not one, but multiple children were howling in the background of the interviewer. It was such a bad, horrible experience. For all the big words the CEO posts on LinkedIn, he should look at training the people in his companies.
