Interview
Apply here if you want to be treated like a robot instead of a human being,
The phone interview when right into the coding challenge with no attempt to talk about my experience, my skill set, my resume, or who I am as an individual. Furthermore, the interviewee’s english was so broken that I had to continually ask him to repeat himself after every sentence.
Overall, I am disappointed. The interview was my first real glimpse of the company, and nothing positive come from it.
