No Offer – Interviewed in Los Angeles, CA Feb 2012 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2012
Interview Details –
Two part interview that consists of a phone screen and an on-site meeting: The phone screen is only mildly technical but mostly geared to feel out a candidate's personality. The on-site piece is dominated by a six page written technical test of specious value -- In other words, basic but long. If you are good, you will ace it. Then they double-team you for 20 minutes impromptu. The questions were not contemplated in advance.
It was made clear during the interview that they were focused (perhaps overfocused) on a cycle of status-quo maintenance of legacy, sub-contracted technologies, which is diametrically opposed to what I was led to believe through earlier contacts, like the phone interview. It is possible they were serial interviewing, feeling their way through the process or just looking at factors outside skill, like how one is dressed. (Sorry, had to say that.) And, they were late -- left me waiting in the lobby and having to grab someone for help. (Definitely a sign of disrespect.) Any way it rolls, these guys were not serious.
The office is in a beautiful Art-Deco building west of the Fashion District in Downtown LA. The other employees who range from fashion photographers to office staff are dressed like they stepped out of the pages of Vogue. Even the other IT people looked that way.
Sorry, bad experience. I wish I could get my morning back.
