Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Architecture concepts with performance and hige volume based data management.
Applied to HR in November, got a reply in December. I was told to wait for a call in January. HR called February. Got a telephone interview in March. Each step took a month. It's now 5 months since I first contacted them, with no feedback, no followup, I'd hate to think this is how they conduct their business. There were 4 people in the conference call, but only 1 voice made any sense.
