I applied online. I interviewed at Phase2 Technology
Interview
The interview was a great conversation with the Director of Talent and I thought was a good experience with a great shot at next steps and getting the job with a well reviewed company, however come to find out they LIE just like others that I've dealt with in the industry.
Phase2 hires recruiters and employees that promise you the world, state that you are a great fit, they will highly recommend you, there aren't many other candidates that are as experienced and more, only for them to go silent after completely raving about your application!
I don't know what is going on in the professional world of recruiting nowadays, but these people have either forgotten what its like to be a job seeker or just don't care about anyone other than themselves, and unfortunately the company that I read about did not live up to the hype and professionalism I expected.
It's fine to interview someone and be honest and state that there are many other candidates better suited or to state that they will get back to me IF they elect to proceed forward, but to promise the world and then renege on it is inconsiderate and unacceptable.
I would avoid this company at all costs because if they act this way before you even get the job, imagine what they are like to work with!?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just normal interview questions about experience and a lively discussion about the job and culture.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Phase2 Technology in Feb 2012
Interview
Interviewing process was very unusual considering the position. Recruiter emailed me questions one at a time before setting-up a phone screen. The phone screen consisted principally of naming every free beverage they offered, noting their pingpong table and Nerf launchers, and basically how hip they were. As a fresh college grad, that might be appealing to some, but at a management level in one's career, free sodas are not in the least a selling-point.
It was very clear that they do one kind of work (web projects), they are looking for people who do that exact work, and who want to continue to do that exact type work. Not a place for those looking to expand their career.
