Applied online and within couple of days received an invitation to phone interview. Questions were taken from a script very traditional HR questions. When I asked for elaboration, the respond was that its is a generic question and was not provided guidance as to what the interviewer meant. In addition, it was asked to do a "home assignment". I responded that far too many recruiters ask for free labour be donated to their companies as an attempt to evaluate a candidate. They did not like what I said and I realized that was an indication as to how flexible, and understanding they might be with their very own engineers when it comes to demanding tasks. To me if a company is not open to talk and listen or open to conduct a conversation that is a red flag about their culture. This seemed pretty similar interview to me. It was a do or die culture. In addition asked about how many people have left the company and why, and the respond was pretty fake and unconvincing. But apparently the average seniority is about 2 years per recruited respond. Asked about stack of technology and the expectation, respond was minimal very unclear about what was expected from me. Overall, seemed like a startup culture. There seems to be a sudden urge to hire lot of people to manage the new contracts with municipalities but little thought into how to utilize these many people when contract is delivered or how to keep the people in company for a long term. I suggest if you need a job, take it, otherwise, do yourself a favour and save yourself time and effort.
