I was emailed and invited for a 30-minute onsite interview. It was just one round and I met with one person. They talked about my past work and asked a couple of questions to test my knowledge. The interview was pretty laid-back and mostly about seeing if I was a good fit personality-wise.

Behavioral Presentation Other

So there were two interviews. The first was a 1:1 with two different managers. It went well, and they made me feel welcomed and were very professional. The second was also a 1:1 and a cultural interview, where I got to see the departments and learn more about the company culture. I was very impressed.

Technical

I took a sit-down exam. The interview email was CC'd to others, which felt like a privacy issue. I didn't get any feedback after the interview, just a direct 'no'. I have really bad feelings about this place, the whole thing seemed evil and cold.

It was a phone screening first, then an onsite interview. The onsite started with a skills test, then I interviewed with one sys admin guy and the Senior DBA. After that, I interviewed with the Director of Engineering.
