I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at KPA Group (Oakland, CA)
Interview
I had a phone interview that seemed OK. The owner invited me to his office. It was the most unprofessional in-person interview I ever had. He was rude. He consistently scolded me. When I answered his questions, he interrupted me after saying only three words and told me I was wrong. He definitely has never heard of the concept of other people.
I learned that he doesn't pay for or grant. I guess client satisfaction is at the bottom of his list. He even says he uses all hand calculations for all his engineering designs.
He's a lousy businessperson because he believes that engineering firms should keep staff on even though the firm has no work.
If this is how he treats potential employees, I wold hate to see how he treats his clients! I don;t think his Best Firm rating is real.

Interview
Surprise phone interview was very unprofessional. Even more unprofessional was the interview did not like some of my answers and would argue with me and scold me. Can't imagine what it would be like to work for him.
