Senior Software at DIRECTV
No Offer – Interviewed in El Segundo, CA Apr 2012 – Reviewed May 7, 2013 New
Interview Details – Fair. They flipped on me. First claimed that they wanted a Technical Lead, then turned me down for not being more "managerial". Excuses excuses... But I did not see a single person with grey hair, not one, in 3 hrs of roaming the campus.

Customer Care Manager at DIRECTV
No Offer – Interviewed in Boise, ID Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2013
Interview Details – After applying online I received a call from a Directv HR manager that completed a behavioral interview. The process took about 40 minutes.

After two weeks I received an email stating I would not be further considered for this position.

Staff Engineer II at DIRECTV
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in El Segundo, CA Jan 2012 – Reviewed Mar 27, 2013
Interview Details –
Called in for multiple informal interviews with manager. He just gauged my personality and work ethic.
Interviewed with team members to evaluate my technical skills.
Was contacted weeks later by HR and had to meet with the rep. After agreeing on a salary a date was set for me to start.
On my first day I went to a welcome training that went over company policy and had us sign all the paper work. We then received our badges and reported to our manager.
It took a couple weeks before the team started giving me real work to do.
Interview Question – The unexpected was the lack of difficult questions. Everything was very surface level. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Originally offered a really low amount. Countered and explained my experience level and why I should get more. Settled on a number just below my counter offer.

Content Strategist at DIRECTV
Declined Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 23, 2013
Interview Details – I was offered the position after two separate interviews. The first I met with two group leaders of content strategy for different areas of their site. The second I met with the director of content strategy for the company along with a third group leader. Each interview lasted about 45 min - 1 hour. It seemed like they did most of the talking as my content background was all laid out on my résumé.
Interview Question – What is content strategy. Honestly. I came from a content background and had done research into content strategy, but the hard and fast definition of content strategy still eludes me. View Answer
Reason for Declining – I was offered a better position for a smaller company in an industry I am more interested in.
