Interview
I went through 2 rounds of interviews. The first interview was on campus and had two local employees interview me with traditional behavioral interview questions. (Tell me about a time when...).
The second interview was with a senior manager and to be held on the phone. Unfortunately the guy did not show up for the call. I contacted the recruiter / HR rep to see what had happened, and they rescheduled me for another time, with sincere apologies. The same senior manager interviewed me in the second scheduled call with similar behavioral questions, but never apologized for not showing the first time or even mentioned the rescheduling to any degree.
Overall, I really liked the company. It did come across as though they were either no organized, or the senior manager had better things to do than interview candidates.
