Technical Coding
Before even an interview, they sent over 8 in-depth questions via email. You have to chase up the application yourself, and they don't really give any reply or feedback, so it feels like a waste of time for everyone involved.

I filled out my resume and then got contacted for a bit more info. After that, a phone screening was set up but it got rescheduled multiple times. Eventually, I got a call but the interviewer was busy and wanted to reschedule again. Then, another person called me for a really quick screening. After that, the initial interviewer called me back for a short interview and mentioned that no one else should have been contacting me. At the end of it, I was told to call back if I was still interested. Now I'm confused if I should call them to schedule an interview like person A said, or wait for a reschedule like person B suggested. Reading other reviews, I'm thinking of just dropping this opportunity.

Behavioral Technical Other
The owner Don Burgoon called me on a Saturday afternoon. He seemed nice at first, but I was wrong. He asked when I could come for an on-site interview, and I flew out the next day for an interview that Monday. He picked me up from the airport and put me up in a hotel. His assistant picked me up the next morning for the interview. It was disorganized, interviewing with production and engineering staff from 8 am to 4 pm with no lunch break. As my flight neared, he made an on-the-spot offer and negotiated the wage in person, which surprised me into accepting. I was then rushed to the airport. The unprofessionalism, disorganized, and dirty environment should have tipped me off to the company culture.
