Process
The recruiter walked me through the interview process and discussed open positions that meet my skillset. They spoke about the skills required for the positions and how my language strengths were utilized in previous jobs.
Later, they asked about my salary expectations for the position, providing a range. However, I never heard any positive reply after that.
Questions
Typical questions, like why I am looking for a change.
Discussed positions in my resume and workplaces where I used MATLAB.

Strong performers should weigh the pros and cons carefully
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
November 4, 2008
Pros: Stability. Nice/decent people. Engineering that gets the job done, more or less. A comfortable work environment. Low stress levels, flexible scheduling, good benefits. Products that make the world a better place. A strong business position at the company level.
Cons: Slow career growth.
Weak correlation between performance and compensation.
Amateurish/untrained software skills are common.
Highly variable competence in middle management.
A good number of folks have positions of responsibility because of seniority rather than merit.
Engineering that is often ugly and uninspired (Boot up Matlab. Enough said.).

1.0
Worst company to work for (Bangalore office only). Please don't join!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
November 5, 2015
Pros: Anyone seeking a job here can also get a better (more relevant, better paying, and better prospects) job elsewhere.
Cons: They hire people from IITs and give them substandard pay, making them do tech support jobs. They hire with false promises and false hope. Once you enter the company in a tech support role, you're screwed!
There are a lot of low-level politics that happen in the company. Growth is near zero.
