It was the most fun interview I've ever attended. First two sixties-like IQ tests and when those went well, 5 or 6 brainteasers with different technical people from the office. I like those games and was quite inspired that day and solved them all with no hints. Almost no technical questions from the software perspective, and they seemed happy with my performance (though I have no idea if being good at brainteasers makes you a good software engineer). They gave me lunch (not great but they said it was an exception and that it was generally better) and left me to eat it on my own in the kitchen. Then, this dialogue ensued: - Are you ready to work 12 hours? < WTF face > - You mean every day? - Yes. - Of every week? - Yes. < horror face > - Erm... why would you do that? I talked with a few other engineers about this working hours detail, they all assured they worked at least 12 hours every day and "you get used to it", and said it was worth the salary and the perks (laundry, a weekly yoga session, and the food), and that the work was intense but they enjoyed it. I know you're supposed to be agreeable and flexible and eager to do anything at interviews but I in this case I wasn't really able to keep a straight face. I found it honestly hard to wrap my head around the fact that everyone in that office worked more than 12 hours a day. NO WAIT they said one Friday every two weeks they work only 8 hours (and mostly, not on weekends). Then they sent the secretary to talk to me specifically about it because I was still incredulous. She literally said "yes, your contract won't say it --it would have been illegal-- but you'd be expected to arrive around 7 and leave around 8". I asked if I would be allowed to leave at 6 once a week to train a sport I play, and they said no (<blink>). One of the interviewers at some point said how hard it was for them to hire people and how few they had brought in in the last years. They seem to believe it's because their standards are very high and their interviews very difficult. I still tried to smile and said I was interested in the position even if to have an offer to negotiate from elsewhere, but I guess they saw it as clearly as me that... ehm the "cultural fit" was not great. I recommend the experience because the brainteasers are fun. As for the company, RUN. FAR. AWAY.
