Interviewed Jan 2012 in Shanghai (China) (took a day)
a) Theyinvited me for an interview for a designer position which i am not. I provided techincal examples when i first contacted them and on that basis you should have not invited me for interview in the 1st place.
b) When i went for the interview, it was clear that the Vice President had not seen my cv. The interview lasted a mere 5 minutes as it was fairly evident then that i was not right for the position. A substantial waste of everyone's time.
c) RTKL reply to me saying that my design skills are not strong enough and that my salary is too high and that i have come through an agency? I'm not a design Architect (Highly evident from the examples that i sent), i never mentioned salary and i never came through an agency.
All in all, bizarre, highly embarrassing, inefficient, clueless.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Washington, DC (took a day)
I have interviewed, or tried to, on three separate occasions with RTKL. In two different cities, in three separate studios. First one, they informed me at the interview that they weren't hiring but wanted to meet me anyway. Thanks for wasting my time! At the very least they should have informed me that it was an informational interview only and let me make a decision as to whether or not I wanted to accept the invitation. Second interview, they called the morning of to confirm. I arrived about an hour later, and they cancelled the interview, saying there was a misunderstanding about their intent to hire. Third time, I arrived and the interviewer had a 'design emergency' and so I just met with some random person who had no idea what they were looking for in a candidate nor had any input on who to hire. Total waste of my time again. In conclusion, I've reached the impression that RTKL uses its size to mistreat people.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
The interview process was very pleasant. Interviewers were very friendly and represented RTKL well. The parking was a bit hard to find, but other than that I liked the company and the office well.
