My interview process was apparently a little different due to me being on the other side of the country. I had two phone interviews with recruiters from the company, then i was invited to a local interview event. I had never felt as good as i had interviewing with the people i met there, they were all intelligent easy to get along with, and driven. The feedback i had gotten was that they needed people with my skill set, and i really got along with everyone well. I was told usually interviewees go through many more people, though, I only had to interview with 4 different people on the first round. When i got to the later rounds, they indicated they wanted me to take a job as a mechanical engineer. Which is odd, as im an electrical engineer. It seems to me that that trying to shift people from their disciplines does not serve them, or the prospective employee. It smells of desperation to get people in the door, which seems to fall in line with what ive read in reviews of the job. The last correspondence i had with them, they made condescending remarks about me contacting them "when im serious about a job". Given they wanted me to change disciplines, this seems rather pretentious, and raises major flags with me, as such i decided to not contact them back. I get feeling the company is demanding, i was told you work 7 days a week, and the pay is low for the valley. the culture appears to be friendly, and casual, but demanding. I do, as i indicated, have serious concerns about the longevity issues, given the companies propensity to bait and switch, and overworking, and underpaying employees.
