Difficult Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Dec 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)

The person in charge of recruiting was very polite and easy to communicate with. I had a phone interview first in which the employee asked about my background with Android. My second interview was talking in general about my current job and the projects I've worked on. The next interview was in person. I was given a math based question that was fairly difficult but definitely solvable. I stumbled on the problem quite a bit. Seems like they like to interview 2 on 1. I have a 2 on 1 phone interview and then a 2 on 1 in-person interview. No further interviews. No offer.

I get call from their HR who asked me to sent him my resume (he probably found me on Monster). I had 1:1 phone interview with their lead scientist. He asked me some programming question, e.g. how to sort arrays, and screened me how much I know about how antivirus and malware protection - not much BTW, though I am security expert in other areas. Questions were reasonable for phone interview which normally is just screening process. I agreed on interview because I thought it would be interesting to learn new technology and expand my security related expertise. On the other hand I had reservations also because it is a small start up which develops mostly free SW (for cell phones) and comparison on the web against similar products from well known competitors who sell more advanced product for money were not very good. But then again it is always more fun to work for small company where you have more responsibility and appreciated more. After phone interview I did not hear from them again.

well the actual interview did not happen. They rescheduled phone interview about 3 times but i haven't received call from their engineer. At first I thought, it happens some times. I feel its always good to wait for a while before you inform HR when you don't get the call from the interviewer. In between HR will not reply to my call/email in a timely manner which delayed process.

reschedule -> Nocall -> I will email/call -> again reschedule -> nocall -> I will email/call -> reschedule -> Nocall.
Finally, one thing I understood they are so unprofessional. I wish they change it soon.
