I had a HR/recruiter screen call, then a technical screen call, and finally an in-person four-hour eight-person two-at-a-time on-site marathon interview. Overall the process was decent but there were a few negatives. One employee decided it was appropriate to do a donald-trump-style crush-and-jerk handshake. I don't know why people do this. It just makes them look like weak wanna-be bullies. Their DBA was rather rude and disrespectful towards the end of the interview. I'm not sure why but his attitude turned rather passive aggressive near the end. I noticed a number of signs and clues that the whole process was managed in such a way that I felt like they had a little too much experience interviewing candidates -- like they have a turnover problem and are constantly hiring new people to fill in. Technology wise, what I learned about their infrastructure was not good. They had made some seriously poor design decisions in the past and it seemed like they were letting some of their infrastructure rot by failing to solve fundamental issues and instead working around them. What really sunk the job for me, however, was that I was applying for a job that was already filled. At the end of the interview, the hiring manager informed me that he was interviewing me for an entirely different position than what I had expected, and so I had spent the last four hours trying to highlight certain skills while downplaying my desire to do something else I had done in the past. This pretty much sunk it for me. On one hand, I guess I'm happy they were impressed enough with my skills that they decided to bring me in for an interview in which they would have created a position for me. On the other hand, I'm not terribly happy that I wasn't told this from the outset. The hiring manager had said that he thought he had told me this, and I believe him. I think it was just an honest mistake, but it's one that almost certainly cost me the job. Despite the above issues, I think I would have still taken a job there if they had offered. No where is ever perfect. They had some interesting challenges I could have helped with.
