Recruiter from Sunnyvale reached out, did a basic tech phone screen of VMware questions and miscellaneous other items. Scheduled a 3 hour onsite interview. This was a waste of time, since I could have done a 30 minute phone screen with the guys in the office and skipped the back and forth one-upmanship.
Mostly the team appears to be made up of disenchanted IBM guys and former Cisco TAC techs. As expected, the TAC guys seem to think they are the end-all-be-all of techdom. That might be true if they could possibly venture outside of asking only network related questions.
Meeting with the Director at the conclusion of the interview was telling when he described not wanting to have a stable of "primadonnas and arrogant engineers" - like he had seen at other companies. Sorry to break it to you, but you already have that right under your nose. You won't attract any talent when your folks are only interested in being skillset heavy and socially inept. It is "customer support" after all.
