I applied online, got an email from their internal recruiter the next day and spoke with him by phone later that same afternoon. He said that they hadn't had many good prospects for the position and seemed really interested in me, asking if I was interviewing with anybody else or if I had just started looking. At some point he mentioned that they had 50 employees but were growing. He emailed me five days later to set up an in-person interview with their CIO and one of their developers. He said the interview should last no more than an hour and to expect a mix of technical questions and questions about my background and experience. He asked me to dress professionally, "in a suit if you have one" and to bring a few copies of my resume. Parking merits a little discussion as it was tight and expensive. Their building has underground parking and only the first level, where I had to park, is public. The speed bumps were not rounded humps like you normally see but square concrete slabs, similar to the the square cement tire stops at the end of many parking spaces but with the corners bevelled in a half-hearted attempt to make driving over them a little easier. I eased over the first one very slowly but I still bottomed out hard enough to make me wonder whether it had done any damage to the under carriage. There were only two or three empty spots and being distracted with finding one that I thought I could squeeze my Mustang into, I circled around again realizing too late that I was in store for a second round of under carriage punishment. It was a wasted effort as every space was equally tiny. I decided on one next to a column which gave me enough room to open my door but I found myself trapped there, in the little compartment behind the column, between my car and the one to my left. I pondered my options for a bit but there was no easy escape as the space between the cars around me was even less than the space between the column and my car and that wasn't much. My best option was to just go ahead and squeeze past the column and take the risk of being covered with whatever sut, grime or paint rubbed off onto my suit. Surprisingly, not much did. Others squeezing by must have already rubbed the column clean. I can imagine somebody coming back to their car and discovering that there wasn't enough room to open either of their doors. I arrived early so I was there for over an hour. Parking was $5 an hour so it cost me $10 and the recruiter had already informed me that they couldn't validate my parking. According to parkopedia.com monthly parking there is $125. Whether that is covered as a benefit for employees I do not know. Since I didn't get to see the monthly parking levels I don't know if the parking experience was any better there. I took the elevator to the building lobby and a nice security lady sent me up to 18, their private floor. They had a nice lobby and the receptionist asked if I wanted something to drink while I waited. Behind her desk was a glass conference room with a nice view of the city. The recruiter came out and introduced himself. He was friendly and polite and took me to the glass conference room to wait for my interviewers. About 10 or 15 minutes later the CIO and developer showed up They were both dressed business casual. No suits or ties. The CIO was all business, no friendly banter or chit chat. The developer seemed ill-at-ease as if he wasn't sure exactly when or whether he should interject his questions. I don't recall the CIO ever giving him any cues, he just asked a question or two whenever the conversation paused long enough. The few questions he did ask were basic, entry level questions and not difficult. The CIO asked about high level skills; tuning, LDAP/Active Directory, building servers, etc. There was only one skill he asked about that I didn't have much experience with so in that respect I thought the interview went well, however from the start he seemed uninterested, as if he had already decided on somebody else and was just fulfilling his obligation to conduct the interview(s) that his recruiter had already scheduled. He never asked why I was looking for a new position, what my salary expectations were or when I could start if I were offered the position. He had a poker faced expression for the entire interview, only occasionally cracking a brief smile. It lasted less than 30 minutes and, for the reasons I just mentioned, felt awkward. The recruiter emailed me the next afternoon (Friday) and asked how I thought the interview went, mentioning that he had not yet spoken to the CIO. He said he would probably know something on Monday. I got an email from him on Tuesday letting me know that the CIO had decided on somebody else which, based on his demeanor during the interview, was what I was expecting. It had been 13 days since I applied online.
