I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cogent Communications (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
Several phone interviews with their head recruiter in DC/Maryland and then met with a gentleman in their New York City branch office, located on Broadway in Bowling Green. Interview wasn't tough, actually WAY TOO easy. He mostly spoke about himself and his experience with the company. Worked their 5 years, recently became a manager (after 2 had left).
They are in a nice area, right next to the 4,5 express lines which is great but as professional as they push, they were dressed pretty casual. The place was not kept up. Don't really know if it was really worth it.
Got the interview from an internal referral. Unfortunately, I knew a job there was going to be short-lived. This isn't a career job.

Question 1
Tell me how you got here? (Meaning in-front of the manager)
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Cogent Communications in Mar 2024
Interview
Spoke with a recruiter to learn more about the position. They did not seem to know my background, spoke in generalities about the company and position, and had a very unprofessional demeanor. It did not feel like this recruiter took their listing or this conversation seriously. I feel like the interview was an entire waste of my time and it became obvious very quickly why this company has the reviews that it does.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cogent Communications (Herndon, VA) in Oct 2022
