Software Development Engineer-II Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
Got called by recruiter seeing my LinkedIn profile. Call with recruiter was nice, just basic talk about my experience on resume.
This was followed by a telephonic interview with HR. Overall attitude of HR was unprofessional. I was asked the choices for dates and time for interview. HR did not respond to my mail for 4 days. I had to talk to recruiter who reminded HR about it and then I got date just a day before interview.
"Telephonic screening" lasted for not more than 15 mins where HR again went through my resume and had exactly same discussion that I had with recruiter. It seemed that position was either already filled or HR was not interested in having interview. I got rejection mail after a week or so. This position was developer position. I have software development experience in related technology for 5 years now and they simply rejected application without even single technical question.
Questions
I wasn't asked even a single technical question. There was only an HR round about past work.

Rapid7 Work Experiences
- 1.0Lost it's shine, still hopeful.Engineering • Current EmployeeBoston, MassachusettsJune 9, 2017Pros: All the way up to 2015, it was 5 stars. Some of the best human beings I have worked with are the active members and alumni.Cons: Obligatory my manager was terrible and was never around. Promises were given but never executed on. They would rather replace you with someone cheaper. Red Flag!With all the go to market and org changes - the politics remind me of a large tech company. I might as well go work at a large firm if it's the same BS. There are lots of great security start ups in the area that were like R7 circa 2010.
