Xylotek interview questions

This company prides themselves on being unconventional, and that definitely included the screening and interview process. Before a resume would even be accepted, you had to leave a 3-minute voice mail response answering 3 questions about work experience (situational questions.) If you passed the screening, you were contacted and requested to send a resume. This was followed up with a request to attend a group interview session, consisting of 5 candidates and 3 representatives from the hiring company. Most of the questions were a description of a technical symptom and asked us how we would approach it. Each of us took turns in answering first, then the others took a shot at expanding on the answer or providing a different response. The final results of the interview, however, were delivered in an extremely UNPROFESSIONAL manner. The HR person left a message to call, I phoned back, got voice mail; she returned the call less than 5 minutes later and it was plain that she was reading a script. She was in a hurry to rush through her prepared lines and hang up I certainly didn’t mind getting turned down BUT for such a small company to use such an impersonal canned response seemed wrong.
