      Network Security Engineer Interview

      12 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Medford, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Agero (Medford, MA) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      I was submitted to the company by a recruiter. The job description and my skill set matched extremely well even though the job title was not exactly accurate. The internal recruiter screened me on the phone. He was fine, albeit like most really only knew the buzz words and not what they mean. I was requested to attend a second call that same day. There were two managers on the call, they did not properly introduce themselves and explain their roles in detail or the landscape of the IT Dept, and neither did the internal recruiter (in advance of the call). I still do not even know their last names. They did not seem very well prepared or organized. They were talking over each other at one point. One of them simply could not believe and/or digest my credentials/experience and kept stating that he was confused (which is a dog whistle for calling someone a liar). At this point, so was I confused, to say the least. So in the end, I went into this interview to face someone (via phone) that was in disbelief of my abilities and who was seemingly sitting next to his boss (or peer) attempting to run the interview and impress her at the same time. It was the most abrasive interview I have ever encountered. In today's world when hiring senior talent, best practice is to vet the candidate’s credentials and references in advance, and then the interview process turns into the company assuring that there is chemistry, and selling the candidate on joining the team. I wouldn't recommend this environment. It’s certainly far from best practice from an HR perspective and one can only assume from this experience, staffed with weak managers. These were supposed to be senior people, which speaks volumes for the company culture and work environment. I also gather from the interview that they are way behind best practice as it relates to deploying and maintaining an InfoSec program, which means they should be considered a high risk vendor and thus are scrambling to catch-up. This creates a chaotic work environment. I suggest they budget for some HR-interview methodologies and coaching classes in 2016. I declined further interest.
