I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TEGILE SYSTEMS (Newark, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Recruited, phone interview, on-site with 4 people. Progressed at a reasonable rate. The organization of the interview process went smoothly. Documents supporting the process were handled very efficiently.
Everyone was very nice and cordial. In contrast to other companies, where some interviewers had a combative style or made process mistakes from which you had to scramble to recover from.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were standard and general. What was unusual was the amount of commentary about competitors, which comprised as excessive proportion of the interview and made me fee uncomfortable. Another reviewer on glass door said the same thing. Not many technical questions from most of the interviewers. I had an extensive technical discussion with one interviewer. Unfortunately, the fact that I had technical expertise in certain areas was not proliferated. This was also mentioned in another glass door review. What is unusual about this company is that you can bring up very standard practices or non-controversial and well known technical points and be beaten up for it within this company.

Interview
Phone screen, initial in-person, then several managers. Questions were pretty general, except for one person, where it was really meI asking a lot of technical questions in an attempt to understand what I might be getting myself into. I received t reasonably good answers. The fact that I had good technical understanding was not proliferated to other managers
