I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Buckles-Smith Electric (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Initially interviewed for the role I had applied and had a referral for with the hiring manager. Was brought in for the second round of interviews for a completely different role which was not explained to me before arriving at the facility until I sat down for the second round.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Buckles-Smith Electric (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
A tedious and boring onboarding process that takes about a week and is a waste of everybody's time. Busy people pulled away from their desks, some asked to drive 30-45 minutes out of their way. It was not productive.
