I applied online and the hiring manager gave a phone interview that was very technically oriented. I spent close to an hour describing (in detail) my entire academic experience on a technical level. I even got called back with an additional technical question. Was brought in to the company in Richmond, CA. Upon entering the company I was greeted by a friendly dog, which was a red flag for me. It is/was a pet friendly company, but this is something I don't appreciate, particularly in an open workplace setting (i.e. you might have a dog at your feet when you are trying to work/eat). I met with the CEO and some other upper management before giving a talk. Not many people attended the talk or seemed interested in the interview as a whole. That was another red flag for such a small company. The initial impression I got was that the company was very academic in how it is run and how they determine which employees they want to hire, which in my experience is not a good thing. i.e. I wasn't convinced they had a clear/focused goal to get to market. After giving my talk I met with groups of contributors. Again, seemed very ad hoc. Few people had any questions that were beyond company culture or just 'getting to know me' I finished with a tour of the lab, very disorganized and slapped together needing management, and a final chat with the hiring manager. Hiring manager said to email him with any questions upon departure. I followed up with a thank you email and a question the next day and got no response. Sent a follow up to the follow up and still no response. All in all it was the most disorganized interview, riddled with bad impressions, that I have ever experienced. Seemed like a good place to work if you want a higher paying second post-doc or a first job to gain 'industry' experience. I don't think I would have accepted an offer if I were given one.
