If you're African American and you pass the interview questions with flying colors then the technical interview questions you're still going to find you'll be tested regularly. It would appear to me to be some kind of game.
I'm only partially African American so my skin color is deceptive. if you can imagine if I was midnight black. Any desk that an African American new hire sits at is loaded with traps like the following
Real patient data on SD cards in drawers and under monitors on desks. Unsecured and not where they belong.
Vital sensitive employee data including social security numbers, personal phone numbers, local addresses including addresses within countries where they originated from as well as immigration paperwork from local consulates and the United States government. You'll find they tend to use personal data of employees they don't care about or have previously gotten rid of.
The ultimate trap is leaving gift cards in desk drawers like Starbucks, McDonald's or something more elaborate.
I personally have been around long enough to dislike the sick game when I see it. On my first day I made it a point to turn around the other employees who've been there 20 years and ask why the HIPAA laws were violated with sensitive client data strewn about new hire desks.
I found sensitive employee data including social security numbers immigration paperwork as well as sensitive scholastic information none of which is any of my business. Again turned to the employees of 20 plus years and asked why this was not kept where it is legally bound to be kept, in the HR department I dropped that information off at the HR department.
When I found the gift card I almost fell over laughing. You think this is the first time I've seen something like this. We're a company that wants to test the integrity of an individual. I checked to make sure that the gift card still had money on it, it was going to HR anyway, I found that it had $10 on a Starbucks card. I dropped it along with the previous employee's sensitive information.
I was confronted by one of the senior management the next morning at an all-hands meeting where he was sure to hold the Starbucks cup at my eye level and smile as he pushed it forward and then drew it back to take a drink.
Another African American employee, a female that wasn't so lucky. I don't know if she had any background in patient data or other employee data and what's customary. They were sure to humiliate her though. New non-African hires don't experience the same kind of testing.
So it turns out that medicomp is first violating laws and regulations regarding patient data and sensitive employee data so they can find him reason to get rid of new hires that violate those same laws.
In regards to software engineering. The company purchases licenses for two major systems: cloud-based Azure DevOps and Atlassian Jira software and neither of them were configured to do an ounce of automation or reach any feature usage of which you would purchase these products.
I spent a weekend of my own time figuring DevOps and was told by the architect of the medicomp software that it was so sophisticated automation tools like DevOps and others wouldn't work. Furthermore I had to go in and reconfigure their development environment and UAC environment on some scratch servers in a hypervisor because those environments were being used; they were editing directly and production for medical devices and data. Imagine the SQL schema edited directly on the production side because it was too much work to maintain a development and UAT environment.
The point here is if you're a new developer graduating from university you can expect NOT to see advanced configurations or software automation versioning documentation and control. More than one long time employee under the architect we're sure to let me know the minute I got hired let the place it headed downhill in recent years after management change.
Furthermore and I have no reason to lie about it, medical professionals from other cardiologist office were sure to reach out to me and let me know the product/software at medicomp has problems. This is echoed in the reviews of the devices and software tools used by doctors that support the devices.
In defense of the support teams at medicomp Inc in Melbourne Florida they do exactly what they're trained to do.
