The building is new and spacious, and the shared pantry and restrooms are also very clean. Overall, the environment feels comfortable.

The location is relatively remote.

Upon arrival, I was asked to take a written test first, answering in Word. After I finished, someone came over with a USB drive to copy the file and help print it. This was very different from companies I had interviewed with previously, where I could upload my answers directly after completing the test. It really didn’t feel like a “technology” company.

The interview did not take place in a meeting room, but at a random desk in the office. It was an open-plan space, so there was no privacy during the conversation.

The interviewer was a man who talked continuously from beginning to end. When asked for feedback on a few questions, he could not give clear answers. He did not come across as professional; instead, he sounded more like a salesperson making things up. Excluding the written test, the interview lasted about an hour, and he probably did most of the talking for more than 50 minutes.

Since I had already received an offer from another company, I went in with the mindset of just seeing what it was like. However, the entire interview process was completely unprofessional, and they showed no real interest in getting to know the candidate. Strangely, after the interview, I still received a “thank you, we’ll be in touch” notification. It was a very poor and unpleasant interview experience. But then again, if the person sitting in front of me were to become my future supervisor, perhaps it was for the best.
