I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Selectron Technologies (Tigard, OR) in Nov 2024
Interview
Read the negative interview experiences before heading to the interview and tried to take them with a grain of salt. From the phone screen seemed like a good company to work for. Pleasant chatting with HR in phone screen about career goals and direction of the company.
Office space was nice enough, plenty of employees in the office to create a decent company culture. Interview was a different beast. One of the interviewers rubbed me the wrong way. Was inattentive and made rude comments. Walked away from the interview upset, and after reflection realized I did not need to subject myself to working for a person like that, so I later dropped out of the running.
Technical aspect of the interview involved unit testing in C#. Make sure to review unit testing since most of the rigor was creating class methods and invoking them properly. Actual rigor of "leetcode problem" was extremely easy.
When invited for a second interview I stated I was no longer interested and was welcome to provide feedback. HR asked for the feedback so I told them as professionally as possible how one of the interviewers was rude in the interview and represented the type of manager I would not want to work for. As you may suspect they replied in complete defense of this employee and even tried to make me feel remorse by saying the team was so happy to meet me and wanted to give me an offer. Ultimately didn't matter since my mind was made up that I couldn't work for a manager of that demeanor.
Overall, seems like a decent place to get your start out of college. Due to the geographic location, tech stack, and pay, I feel that they will hire most CS graduates with a propensity to learn and work! If it weren't for this one person I would have worked at this company!

Question 1
Q: What experience do you have with C#? What experience do you have in customer support? What is an API?
I applied for this job online and was scheduled for a phone interview a few days later with the hiring manager. A HR rep called me to schedule the interview, but I wish she had emailed me instead because I didn't get her name, email address, or any way to follow up with questions. I felt like the interview went well, and the hiring manager said he would get back to me soon. But he ghosted me. I never heard anything back about this job. I don't know who the HR rep who contacted me was, and I couldn't find anyone's email address or direct phone number to ask about my status. I ended up sending a polite request to the company's general info email address asking if they could please put me in touch with HR/Recruiting, but I never got any response. It's been about 3 months now, so I guess they're not going to give me an update. It's shocking how common it is for employers to ghost their interviewees these days - and I feel that it's completely unacceptable. If the company can't give someone who interviewed the courtesy of a 1-minute email update, how well could they treat their employees?
