Entrevista
This was one of the least professional interviews I have participated in. Over 2 1/2 weeks, I spent 15+ hours preparing, researching and analyzing the SpinFusion brand.
After completing a Skype interview with a VP level individual in the Houston area, I was given the opportunity to have an in person interview in the Denver office. I was told I would be meeting with a particular member of HR that I had been emailing with for the better part of the month. She was the most impersonal and unqualified interviewer I've dealt with in recent times. Prior to meeting, she assigned me a 'homework assignment' consisting of a DISC assessment and a 30/60/90 day integration strategy for my success in the company.
I had colleagues, former professors and other qualified graduate level individuals in my life critique my integration plan, and they all agreed that it was stellar work. One even thought that it was something that SpinFusion created for me to use as a template going forward.
Come time for the interview, She had one page consisting of 5 of the most bland and un-applicable questions you could ask an interviewee (along the lines of 'whats your favorite color). She had no interest in me as a person, or my time. It genuinely seemed as though she was more focused on hurrying me out the door so she could start her lunch hour. She did not ask a single question about the integration strategy, nor did she ask me any relevant questions about my experience or expertise. Additionally, after about 5 minutes of her making check marks on a piece of paper, she basically expected me to coordinate the interview. It was not a conversation, and it was the opposite of an organic interview experience.
At this point, I asked twice as many questions to her as she did of me. What is the dynamic on the Support Team? How many team members are there? What type of training is provided to better understand the software used? What is the company size? Who are the clients? where are they located? What is the most profitable business line ? What is success defined as in this role? How will I be critiqued? Is travel expected?
I should have listened to the other Glassdoor reviews provided by previous employees about the toxic culture at this company. Or I should have realized something was up when I walked into the office and saw 40 empty desks, but was told only 10 people work in this office. What a bizarre waste of time. For all I know, they're using my 30/60/90 day plan to on board some cheaper interviewee who was next in line.
After I left the interview, a day later she sent me an email that said "we've moved forward with other candidates". One sentence. After hours of time spent preparing myself for success.... I politely asked her via email for some feedback as to where I came up short, because I was convinced I was a perfect fit for this role, and she didn't even have the courtesy to respond. A total lack of integrity. Avoid SpinFusion at all costs, because they're not worth your time.

The interview process here was a joke. They decided for some odd reason to split what could have been one interview into 3 separate ones, likely so applicants can feel like the company is exclusive and selective of recruits which judging by the empty office, they can't be. The first interview could have easily been covered over the phone and only covered basic 'who are you?' and 'what are you looking for?' type of questions. The second interview I met with the CEO and one other person to go over some sample code I submitted. I couldn't tell if the CEO was a jerk or just a robot but he was very rude and confrontational for no reason and honestly made me feel pretty negative towards the company already. The 3rd and final interview was like a mix of the first two, some personality questions and some questions about my technical background. They didn't ask any real coding problems which I found odd. I ended up getting an offer that was much lower than what I was offered any where else so I turned it down. The only pro I see working at SpinFusion is the location, which is conveniently located on Broadway close to downtown. A tip for the CEO: act like someone who you would want to work with, your company is still a start up and engineers know that they will have to work very closely with you on a daily basis. Also, either pay people a competitive wage or allow for negotiations. And one more thing, a drug test? Really? This is Colorado, good luck hiring any software engineer in Denver who could pass one of those.
