Interviewing strategy had me shaking my head. Their website boasts that they are open and welcome to diversity, but I did not see or get this warm fuzzy feeling of acceptance when I initially walked in the door or during the entire interview process. However, I always try to give people and situations the benefit of the doubt and approached the interviewing process as positive as one could under the circumstances.
I was interviewed by five people separately for four hours including the human resource person - this makes six. I was surprised the custodian did not interview me.
The questions asked were mainly the same from person to person. At the end, the engineering director asked if I wanted to go to lunch. I was not sure if this was part of the interviewing process, but found this approach, awkward, unprofessional and it made me feel very uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, I did not receive a reply to my interview until way after they reposted the position. The message essentially stated I was not qualified, but the truth of the matter is that I was well qualified for the position.
My gut feelings as I walked through the door was that this company was not as welcoming and warm of an environment as they boast about on their website.
Even if an offer of employment had been extended to me, I would have turned it down.
