Process

It was a basic screening interview. A couple of technical questions were asked, and I am not sure if I answered them correctly. A few questions related to travelling were also asked, i.e., whether I would be open to travel or not.

Overall, it lasted only a short while.

Toxic work environment

Ann Arbor, Michigan

Pros: Man, what can I say.

Cons: If your manager is an idiot, you’re doomed. And in fact, this company’s idiot rate is very high. Sometimes when you finished a demo, the manager would even steal the results away and present it without informing you. Some managers are really incompetent and the promotion works fully based on how many years you stayed in the company.
