These guys strung me along since April and recently reached out to interview me for their PRE (support) role. This position is a glorified tech support role that sounded intriguing, as the market is bad right now and I am a fresh grad.

In the final 3-hour interview, the technical interviewer belittled me and was condescending. The questions I asked were totally reasonable; the format of the interview was such that I had no control over my input to the technical exercise.

I had to go through the interviewer and was consistently stonewalled in a rude and unprofessional way. She even began looking at her phone during the interview, which was totally demoralizing.

I am baffled as to why this interviewer even needed to be there to conduct the interview if she intended to be combative and uncooperative.

Overall, I'm glad I will not have to work with this person, and I regret interviewing for them, in addition to the fact that they strung me along for six months.

A technical exercise basically consists of reading through logs, stack traces, and metrics to pinpoint why their software is failing.
