- I applied directly on the Verisign website - I received an email from the recruiter with an attachment containing 6 questions for a written interview - I sent my 3-page response to the screening questions - Round 1: I met with 2 potential peers over WebEx for a 30 minute conversation which ended up going longer - Round 2: I met with the hiring manager and another peer over WebEx for a 60 minute conversation - The recruiter said that the Round 3 would be with one additional team member. However, it didn't pan out and the recruiter later texted me to say that I wouldn't be proceeding - but that the hiring manager would keep me in mind for future roles. Observations: - The team members said "Verisign does not provide much room for advancement and people here are stuck in old ways of doing things" - One of the team members made an inappropriate comment about my appearance - We encountered some scheduling conflicts and the recruiter offered a weekend interview instead. I did not pursue that option.

In person screening before HR screening. In person was fine, until I was informed that they had an internal candidate already targeted as part of the screening interview. Follow up HR screening focused on why I wanted to work at the company without any specifics on the job itself. Concern with the hiring manager that I was overqualified and would likely leave the job. At this point I didn't feel it was a worthwhile position for me given my experiences. In the end, I felt this in person screening was a waste of time for what could have been done over the phone or during the HR screening.
