1 HR interview (short and pleasant)
One 3 panel interview (VP, PM, Tech lead).
VP started off on her own, PM joined 15 minutes later.
VP was curt and abrupt. No pleasantries. Very accomplished. Wasn't interested in hearing much about what I had to say or my career path.
In my personal accounts and also observing the staff, there were no visible minorities from a black background employed. The body language and engagement from the VP left little doubt in my mind on the direction the interview was going.
VP left for 20 minutes for me to discuss with a PM. When she returned to the board room, she flatly stated "why are you still here?"
In summary, not a difficult interview but would not recommend working for an individual who conducts themselves with that level of autonomy.
For comparison, two peers interviewed with this group as well. One was a visible minority of south indian descent who had a similar experience to mine and another was of asian descent who was talked at and given an opportunity. All from the same graduating class.
You do the math. Cheers,
