I applied online. I interviewed at SmartBear (Somerville, MA) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process itself was pretty standard. Was there for just under two hours. No curveballs thrown however the managers I met with could not have been less interested. They were cold, unwelcoming and honestly seemed slightly annoyed the whole time. I did not receive an offer at the end but would never have accepted if I had due to the perception I gained of smartbear from my interviews

How do you forecast for your pipeline accurately and walk me through that process
Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. I’m sorry to hear about your experience interviewing with a member of our team. That is not the type of candidate experience we want anyone to have at SmartBear. I want to assure you that we have heard your feedback and will address everything we missed in giving you a great interviewing experience. Thanks again and best wishes.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself.
Mostly behavioral questions.
Very Unprofessional and wasted my time. After a stellar first round and meeting with the team in person, the hiring team proceeded to ghost me for a week only to then say the job was given to someone else and then proceed to upload 3 more of the same job. Additionally, the pay offered was barely liveable and they expect full in-person attendance. Anyone looking to sell, stay far away from this Org, They don't respect your time and your person.
