Over 4 weeks: 1: Phone screening with their recruiter 2: Video interview with their recruiter 3: Took a "test" involving basic bug reporting and Selenium IDE test creation (seriously it was as basic as it gets) 4: Long 3-hour onsite interview with 3 team leads and then 2 department leads after being given a tour. Honestly I very quickly got the impression that I absolutely did not want to work there for these individuals. I can tell that they have a VERY distinct company culture and they want absolutely zero outliers or freethinking individuals. During the very very long 3-hour onsite interview I was asked what kind of charity work I do. Implying that my professional career has anything to do with community outreach or what I spend my extracurricular time on? I instantly got an air of this holier-than-thou attitude that they have towards others and I'm frankly far too down to earth to even waste my time on that. I was also asked to solve a few problems that they posited so that they can get an idea of how I solve problems and my line of thinking. These were interesting but ultimately NOT relevant to Software Quality Assurance and frankly were a waste of time. This entire onsite interview is what I consider a "lose-lose" situation because I, the interviewee, am seated with multiple people the entire time with little chance to relate or open up in a candid manner that allows for real connection. This is yet another half-baked tech company who hides behind things like, "Look at our beautiful campus!" "We have an arcade room with video games!" "Beer on tap!!" but the reality is that they are not looking for exceptional people. They are looking for robots, and judging by the other reviews here they are extremely religiously charged and seeking to only push their own agenda/dogma. Garbage.

Like other reviews on here they aren't just looking for someone who is capable. They are looking for someone who is exactly like them and will fit the exact mold they are looking for. I was more than qualified, the technical questions were a breeze, and am top of my class; yet I was denied the job because and I quote, "More people oriented than what we are looking for." They want someone who they can pay on the bottom end of the spectrum, that doesn't care about interaction with people, and is ecstatic about debugging code for ten years. It's a little disappointing that they're only looking for a certain mold, but at the same time it appears that's what is the best fit for them. In that regard, more power to them for knowing what they are looking for and as a result keeping people out who they know will be dissatisfied in a few years. The company culture seemed great despite the low pay. Happy hour with arcade games, beer on tap, various workplace spot etc. My interview experience reflected what seems to be the overall feel of the company according to most people - great company that found a good niche, but could die out down the line because they are too close minded.

Company cant seem to afford decent internet as they tried to do a video interview and then a phone call, and guess what? BOTH CALLS WERE DROPPED! Once the interview finally commenced, I could immediately tell the interviewer seems bored and passionless considering he has probably not found the right robot for the job out of a few dozen resumes. I knew halfway through the interview that I wasn't going to get this job based on his impressions. Good thing i got a chance to see what upper management is like at this company through a phone interview than actually had to come in for an in-person interview. You should change the company name from Liferay to Lifelessray, that seems more fitting.
