Slow progress. Hostile crowd. Nice accomodation. Low salary range. HR has too much influence. Wanted and was able to move but UM was not competetive.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Miami, FL (took 2 days)
In all honesty, there were "red flags" from the very start. The interviewing was non-traditional and the needs of the employer were not made clear and/or changed once I started. The actual hiring process took far too long--almost 5 months. They since have shortened that time period, but it is still lengthy. The COO has absolutely no people management skills, which is reflected in the attitudes of the employees--a very low morale. The COO regularly demeans employees efforts, undermines them and generally treats them not only unfairly, but very disrespectful. All of this only serves to bring the morale down even lower and creates an air of mistrust.
