I have never had a worst experience in my life ever. So bad in fact that I had to find an excuse to stop the interview process after the first interview. First and foremost, the 12 leaderships principals are the most toxic and non sense culture I have ever heard of. Not everyone can lead at the time, and not everybody in a company has the skills for it. It fosters a toxic culture of people "wanting to be the boss". I had a 1 hour interview with a hiring manager who spent an hour bragging about himself, explaining how fantastic as an engineer/inventor/researcher/manager he is. I can't even when we talked about me. (I thought I was the one interviewing ...). On a note, I did not apply for the position I was contacted by one of their head hunters. Do yourself a favor ;) Stay away.

Lengthy, very lengthy, some incompetent interviewers who act like spoiled brats, it is true what they say about arrogance being a product of little knowledge. When you answer all the questions, there are some people that should never be put in a position to evaluate other people's skills when they same to have very basic knowledge, and really bad attitude
