Process
Initially, we went back and forth because I didn't have a degree from a "pedigree" school.
One of the hiring managers flat out did not want to talk to me.
I guess I wasn't good enough.
After finally getting a phone interview, the interviewer asked me about my education. I told him I wasn't able to complete college due to financial reasons. You could hear the disappointment.
It was also very weird that I told him I had been working with IBM Watson, and he asked if it was all smoke and mirrors.
Anyway, it was probably a blessing they don't think I fit into their "pedigree" culture.
And then you just never hear back from anyone.
