The Process: I applied via LinkedIn, was contacted for a Phone Screen by a Recruiter, and after I passed the Phone Screen, I met with the Hiring Manager and a Team Leader at their Richardson office. All of this occurred within a period of 7 days.
The Good: The environment was positive and welcoming. When you first enter the building, you really do get a sense of how laid-back the environment is. To my surprise, 95% of the employees seemed incredibly relaxed... And if I had been wearing a gorgeous Sweater, hipster Blue Jeans, and Converse sneakers, that would have been just fine, as long as it adhered to their definition of what's "trendy."
Moving along, IMO, the interview was better than most.
The Hiring Manager wasn't disrespectful, nor did she act as if I didn't matter.
But..., it wasn't an ideal interview.
The Bad: I didn't like the interview was set up, nor did I like the way that the Associate Team Leader was constantly staring at me, as if she was constantly assessing me. That within itself, made me feel uncomfortable as if I didn't measure up.
The Ugly: Despite their original promise, I wasn't given a tour of the office (that within itself let me know that they did not want to wast their time with me). Even worse, the Recruiter and the Hiring Manager failed to offer feedback about the interview after they had promised to do so. As a matter of fact, the Hiring Manager seemed perturbed that I'd emailed her a thank you note, and the Recruiter was no better.
In the end, I did not get the job but perhaps given their penchant for layoff's and a lower rate of salary, this wasn't the right fit for me.
