      Engineering Interview

      Dec 24, 2009
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Proofpoint in Nov 2009

      Interview

      The HR manager is very nice and polite. But the people for technical interview seems not willing to talk with me. His response is very slow. After I answered the question, it take quite some time for him to response. I tried to relax the interview. But it did not work. There is no specific technical question while HR manager said he is a Java expert. I was totally confused by the interview.
