I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SecureAuth (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Interview process started with some external recruiter reaching out to me. This being considered a remote position, all interviews were either on phone or conference calls. After a brief phone conversation an interview with SecureAuth manager was organized, but it ended up they calling me a day ahead when I was in the middle of something. It seemed they didn't know when the interview was setup or recruiter screwed up.
Interview process was lengthy and painful. We sat down for 3 rounds of interviews, each was minimum 2 weeks apart from the last one. It took nearly a month to finish up 3 rounds, which was frustrating, as after every interview I had to reach to people about next steps and it seemed nobody was clear on that.
The last interview was, weird! I wasn't sure who was present in the room, who was asking what and to whom I am answering to....as people keeps getting in and out casually. I had to wait for some of the interviewer while one guy was done questioning me but for a good 15 minutes no one joined. very confusing.
After going through all these I didn't hear back from them for a couple of weeks. Then the recruiter reached and said the position can't be remote as it was mentioned at the beginning and if I wanted "to be considered", I have to move.
I felt cheated, disgusted and it was a waste of my time and effort. Thank God I didn't have to work for this company, stay away.
