A couple of calls with recruiters and an engineer described what it was like working there, encouraging me to interview. It sounded like they were building an analytics tool that gathered data to sell to big pharma. No one I talked to there was able to explain to me what they were really trying to do, except somehow they were going to cure cancer with big-data-style analytics.

The interview process was abysmal. The first interviewer was arrogant, made me sit quietly for several minutes during the interview while he glossed over my resume, and generally acted like he didn't care to be there. The other three interviewers were more or less the same: very unstructured, a little high on the company mission (though couldn't articulate it), and antagonistic towards my questions and answers. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to work with any of them. I lost interest almost immediately and should have left early. An automated rejection email followed. If this is how they plan on tackling cancer, then I want no part in it.

Why do you want to work here?
