Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was contacted via email. The company wanted to extend a 30-minute phone interview.
I was given steps to apply and then assigned a date and time.
The interview was with a recent graduate, not a recruiter.
It was rather bland; nothing notably good or bad.

Bait and switch
Quality Assurance Engineer • Former Employee
November 24, 2023
Pros: Good people to work with; good culture (in theory).
Cons: They advised me when I was interviewed that I "would never be required to go into the office."
Two months later, they implemented a 50% minimum in-office policy, and when people weren't adhering to it, they started monitoring badge swipes. It felt very "big brothery" and like they didn't trust their employees at all.
Not to mention, two weeks after I started, I was abruptly moved to a completely different area that I did not interview with.
I left after 11 months.
