Database Administrator Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I was screened telephonically.
I joined an onsite interview with a few people. Some of the interviewers were really good. Others seemed to think the person on the other side was stupid, showing no respect for the candidate.
The recruiter didn't get back to me despite a few reminder emails and a call. Overall, it was a bad experience. I would never go there again.
It seems like a great company to work for, but most people there act as if they are the only ones in the whole world doing the real work.
