Here was my experience: -Initial 30 minute interview with hiring managers who wrote the requisition to evaluate fit -3 hour on-site interview broken into 1 hour chunks with hiring managers and senior-level engineers from multiple departments. -Additional 1 hour interview with a senior-level engineer who couldn't make the previous on-site interview. -1 hour interview with recruiter to discuss standard HR topics such as benefits, culture, etc. The on-site interview turned me off to this position. While it would be the first position of its kind at APL, there are obvious reasons it’s remain unfilled for nearly a year. The hiring managers are very enthusiastic about staffing it and claimed that there has been growing support for this new role. However, in the next interviews with the senior-level engineers, some of them directly stated that they were skeptical that this position should exist. These were bizarre mixed messages to receive back-to-back. It is also clear that the hiring managers don’t have a tangible plan for this new role or know the level of investment required to do it properly, which is not promising when combined with the skepticism from potential co-workers. About a week after my last interview, all of my contacts at APL stopped responding to emails. After asking me to invest over 5 hours of my own time for their interview process, they weren’t courteous enough to send an email letting me know whether or not they were moving forward with me as a candidate.
