I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at WatchGuard Technologies (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
Not bad with only 3 interviews. Mostly about your experience and what you are looking for in terms of career advancement. You start with a recruiter, then VP and finally the Director.
WatchGuard wasted my time with an aptitude test, phone interview, and a round of 5 in-person interviews with no bathroom break. The recruiter came in afterwards and asked a irrelevant bunch questions but said all the right things. I went through the reference screening process, with an invasive mostly multiple-choice survey sent to all of the references, and the hiring manager reached out to them on the phone. I never heard anything more from the recruiter or hiring manager beyond a generic email that they decided to go with someone else. All of my references are solid. Who wastes this much of a candidate’s time, and calls all of their references and sends them surveys, only to not make an offer? There was no response to my request for detailed feedback. Stay away if you value your time. Any company who uses aptitude tests and multiple choice surveys for references isn’t worth your time.
