Very thorough interview process. I went through 5 total interviews to ensure I was a right fit. Recruiter interview, hiring manager interview, panel interview, interview with the Director, and a raise the bar interview. There were also 2 assessments I had to take to ensure my skill level matched the position I was applying for.

This recruiter screen was a significant disappointment right from the start. The recruiter called 15 minutes late and didn't even introduce himself or say hello, simply starting with "It's Dish... I have 5 questions for you, let's go." This immediately set a very pushy negative tone. While some questions were easy, others about my resume indicated a clear lack of preparation on his part. The conversation quickly pivoted to compensation which was roughly 30% below market rate no bonus and 2% 401k match. He also emphasized strict in-office hours, stating I'd need to be in by 9 AM and couldn't leave before my manager. The only "selling point" offered was "working for the best in the business." Given this highly negative and unprofessional experience I declined to move forward with this opportunity.
