I saw a job for a senior software engineer on PA CareerLink, PA's job search site. I couldn't find the job posted anywhere else, and the job listing was incredibly bare-bones. I emailed a given email, and got a phone call a day later. The person doing the phone screening didn't seem to listen to me at all when I spoke or even have read my resume, and that plus the lack of a job on their company website or LinkedIn should have been a waving red flag. When I asked what the job entailed, since the PA CareerLink description was very barebones, he said this posting was just a legal requirement because they had a person applying for legal residency and by law the company had to post a job listing and interview US citizen candidates. What a joke. I stopped him right there, said that's a pet peeve of mine, no thanks. He reiterated this was a legal requirement and hung up, didn't even thank me for my time. I do not recommend interviewing with this company because of this experience!! This is why the job market sucks and candidates are mad, this was such a not okay thing to do.

1. First step, talk to the recruiter. 2. One "get to know" with the hiring manager, who is the VP of the group I interviewed for. 3. One in person coding interview with one of the Distinguished Technologist. Write an algorithm involving strings in C. 4. A half-day one-on-one in-person interviews with a group of engineers. Some technical, some non-technical conversations
