Had a phone interview and was told I would hear back from the next higher rankin manager. That never happened. If this company thinks its ok to lie to and ghost candidates, I cant begin to imagine how the deceive employees. Im glad I wasnt hired, will never apply to this company again.

Interview Tips

Feel free to post any interview questions you might be asked and I’ll help you compose an effective response :)

Engineer

Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
