I did a phone screen with HR, then a phone screen with hiring manager. They liked what they heard and brought me in to interview for two different positions. I asked for descriptions of both jobs, since this was different than the role I applied to. I was given a very basic job description for each role. I met with 9 people over the course of 5 hours and was asked very specific technical questions. Some of which I knew the answer to, some of which I didn't. I thought the interview went well. I was upfront about my existing salary from the very beginning and was told they determine salary when making an offer. I waited for a week only to be told that one position I was too expensive for (they didn't feel my experience lined up with what the salary I was making) and the other I was missing a key technology (which was never mentioned in the job description or I would have declined the interview as I have never used the product before) All in all, this was a complete waste of time. It seems like they want to pull in top talent and not pay appropriately for what it costs. I'm annoyed that I spent this much time and energy on this.

Let me put it in two words: it sucks. First of all, if you are driving, they don't reimburse you for the parking cost. Most company reimburse for travel cost. Second of all, the interviews are college grads or people the doesn't have much experience themselves. What a waste of time.

Direct onsite after speaking with recruiter on phone.Was given a sheet which had questions on csv file format and few questions on switches and configuring switches. Few puzzles on buckets and water and marbles
