I had the initial phone screen, 30 minutes with a junior recruiter. He explained the position and salary range and asked if I was interested in proceeding in the interview process. I agreed at that time.

I received an email request to set up a 1-hour phone screen with the BI Data Director. After reading Glassdoor reviews on the company, I decided to pursue a different direction in my career search and sent an email withdrawing my application.

Four weeks later, I received an email: "We have had a chance to review your resume and compare it against others who have expressed an interest in this position. Unfortunately, we have decided to pursue other candidates whose background appears to match our needs more closely."

What are you guys doing? I withdrew my application for this position. My guess is New Relic has to meet some type of recruiting quota and counts withdrawals as if they spent any time interviewing me.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
