Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Had a phone interview with of developer.

Answered pretty much all questions he asked.

I have much more experience and expertise than that developer has.

He decided to pass on with out giving any details.

The company is so immature that these immatured and in experienced people make decisions which basically prevents good talent coming from on board.

I think it looks like technology management is definitely immature and unorganized.

Questions

The questions were about low level programming.

Pros: Free food Meet some nice colleagues Events which Tower actually spends money are decent

Cons: There are terrible working hours and life balance, since many of my colleagues have left for better positions and much much much higher pay. It seems this is the case all over the globe now. There is very very bad management which seems to guard their own interests. The technical project team are terrible and need to be spoon fed on what needs to be done.
