Process

I can't believe how abysmal these people are. Definitely the worst interview I've had, ever.

I was asked three questions, one hour each. Then, I was taken to lunch with two first-level managers.

Right after coming back from lunch, they told me that they didn't find a good match for my skills. The only thing I can assume is that although they said the lunch time wouldn't count towards the overall assessment, it might have actually been the most important part. For example, I shouldn't have ordered salad when the two managers ordered steak. I think that set us far apart and made us totally unfit for each other.
