Sakti3 interview questions

I applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by a member of HR two weeks later. He helped me set up a phone interview with a group of managers in Ann Arbor. It quickly became very clear to me that this company is run by former researchers in academia. Having just recently graduated from a doctorate program, I've had experience working with this type. It was very difficult to communicate with them as they were all on speakerphone and mumbling. They asked me about my career goals and after answering, they all seemed really confused about what to ask next. There were many long pauses and awkward silences as they tried to get each other to ask me a question. At the end I thanked them for taking the time to call me and re-expressed my interest in the position. Even the goodbye was awkward as they all started speaking over one another and then just hung up. In the end, I had high hopes for this company after seeing they were acquired by Dyson. However, in my opinion, this interview showed me they have issues with getting the right people in management who may not understand how to bring a product to market. They seem to still have a researchers mindset which is very long-term. This might explain why they haven't rolled out a commercial product since their inception in 2007. Again, this is my opinion based off of my research into their company and talking to the managers.
