The process was pretty smooth.

It included one phone screen with a recruiter, one with an EVP, a preparation call with the recruiter, and then the onsite interview.

If you interview in Cambridge, please plan for about an hour to find parking. There is none available anywhere, especially for more than two hours.

The onsite was pretty disorganized. Each interviewer had a different style, and while they were for the most part nice people, most of them were not skilled at all at interviewing.

I met with two technical members of the team, a PM, the former manager, and an honorific VP. It was shocking to me that there was such a disconnect in the team and that while some were embracing a total lack of structure and accountability, some were begging for some processes to be implemented.

The questions were weak, and many were borderline illegal. I'm not sure what the expectation is for a person jumping in as a manager, as it seems like many embrace the weak product vision and the lack of structure as great for the team. It was the most dysfunctional team that I have ever met.

I hope they fix their game; otherwise, they won't be able to attract strong talent.

What do you think of Agile?
