I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rapid7 (El Segundo, CA) in Sep 2009
Interview
I applied online and received a 5-minute call from the "recruiter" (who also doubled as office manager, sales support, receptionist, etc.) who set me up with a phone conversation with the hiring manager who went over my background and experience. I was then asked to interview over the phone with several others, including a VP. Well, every of those phone interviews were canceled except for the VP. I was then asked to come in for f2f with several folks ... however, most of those folks canceled so I ended up meeting only with the hiring manager and one other. I was then asked to go to their hq in Boston to meet with several other mgmt types ... when I got there, I met again with the VP with whom I spoke with on the phone and he promptly rejected me after a 15-minute conversation. This has got to be the most screwed-up interviewing experience I've ever had.
Rushed scheduling and many rounds of interviews. Some folks seemed nice while other were aloof. The company sounds like they’re ina state of transition. Overall decent interview but I wasn’t inspired.
