Upon completing the interview process with multiple team members in various blocks of time. I was intrigued and interested in the company, its goals and overall direction. Unfortunately, most of the people I met with really exhibited a lack of overall direction, commitment to the company or sense of knowledge about the field in which the company does it's primary business. In other words, there was no synergy. Everyone appeared to come from different worlds, locked in their own small silos working independent of each other. The overall design and direction appeared to come from legacy technology driven by overseas development team with a stronghold on the code base that runs their primary set of tools.
Overall, the appearance of the office environment, mood and attitude of most showed they were happy with their jobs, enjoyed a challenge. But also appeared to resist outside talent and did not want to move away from their comfortable routine and set of processes. Unfortunate as they appear to be in a product / customer segment that is not short on well paying customers / cash flow.
