This place has a policy where everyone working there can veto to not hire you. That means you have people hiring you based on whether they like you, how pretty you are, etc. Skills fall pretty low on that list. Most of all if they see you as a threat they will come up with another reason not to hire you. They had 4 questions and gave me 40 minutes to solve them. Out of all the people they ever interviewed they said I was the only person to solve all 4 of them in the time allotted. They said they didn't want to hire me because I didn't work in a team. Nowhere was that made apparent that "working in a team" is what I was being judged on. I only asked the other two people in the room things I did not know. - method names, and things like that. To me it seems they sat there silently so they could say I didn't "work in a team" when it was over. They just put a laptop in front of me and said solve these questions. If I had been a little more incompetent and needed more help they might of hired me because I worked "in a team". They told me another time they had a guy who could implement the levenshtein distance algorithm from memory and it was faster than the one in the standard string libs. They didn't hire him because "he was lazy". Same thing - they didn't want to hire someone who was a threat. I'm sure working there is nice if you can get past their bs popularity contest. By the way what the hell is up with them making me go up there during rush hour to have drinks with their manager before the actual interview. Stupid, stupid, company. What a waste of time.
