Technical Manager Interview Experience - United States
Process
Two of the worst interviewers ever.
Both men spoke down to me. They were extremely negative and rude. Could there be great companies that nonetheless employ lousy interviewers? The answer is no. What kind of CEO has interviewers in leadership treat candidates badly? The only kind of company that does that is companies whose leaders are asleep at the wheel. If the culture were healthier the hiring managers would not demonstrate such a barbaric "Good ole boy" sexist culture.
Definitely do not waste time considering this company.

- 1.0HVAC engineeringEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeSingaporeSeptember 25, 2017Pros: Good salary, good self learning in engineeringCons: There was poor management and a lack of a staff team.
- 3.0Great people, questions about the company's futureData Engineer II • Former EmployeeAustin, TexasAugust 24, 2023Pros: There are a lot of very talented people, interesting engineering problems, and good company culture.Cons: 1) Executive-level management is bipolar. I went through multiple hiring and spending freezes during my short time there, only to be blind-sided by an 18% company-wide layoff in August 2023. The layoff was such a surprise that I was the one to inform my manager that I had been let go - middle management was left completely in the dark. 2) The company is struggling to find its way forward in an increasingly competitive security landscape. Revenue growth has been stagnant and the company has been consistently operating at a loss. 3) The culture is meeting-heavy.
