Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was looking for a development manager position, and the phone interview was conducted by a cocky 23-year-old asking me questions that new hires should be asked. I was instantly turned off.
I may give them another chance sometime in the future, but I accepted another offer somewhere else.
