Administrative at McAfee
No Offer – Interviewed in North Sydney Mar 2010 – Reviewed May 27, 2010
Interview Details Interviewed with 2 senior staff members, they said that they were short for time and I only had 30mintues to sale myself. They made me feel intimated. I felt it was a waste of my time as i wasn't given enough time or respect to showcase my experience that was relevant to the job. I felt the office was very structured and lack a warm culture.
