That was an amazingly bad in-person interview experience. I do not know how I made it through two rounds of phone interviews to arrive on site as such a poor fit with the company. ID Analytics is an academic environment, and my experience is primarily in a business environment. In my previous positions, my role has been understanding and implementing solutions quickly with a focus on delivering the maximum value according to a deadline. I am an 80/20 person, and ID Analytics interviews for a 100% person as if this were a PhD qualifying exam. My impression is that candidates who are freshly minted PhD’s or have come directly from academic work would fit in very well here. I met with 13 people over 8 hours without any time allotted for lunch. They handed out lunch orders to everyone in the room, and I was handed whatever was left, without any regard for my choice or dietary restrictions. They continued to ask me questions while I stood at the whiteboard, and I was expected to eat during this. It was painful, and overwhelmingly disrespectful. I have been through, and done well at, many difficult interview processes through the years. The best ones maintain respect for candidates while simultaneously looking to understand the limits of their knowledge. The worst, and this was the worst by far, seem to find enjoyment in pointing out every flaw in a candidates understanding. I put aside 10+ hours of time to interview with them (plus prep time). The next day I sent a follow-up thank you email, and I never heard from them again. I assume I didn’t get the job, but I would have appreciated the courtesy of letting me know.
