The initial contact with their HR person was pleasant. Unfortunately, things went downhill after that. The coding challenge was reasonable and the technical phone screen was solid and practical, but the dev I talked to seemed like he had done way too many of these recently to care and just kept sighing after I answered every question.
I got called in for an on-site and took a half-day off of work to travel into DC. I got stuck at the reception desk for almost 15 minutes because there was some hold up with another person trying to get into their office. After walking into their office, the floor was almost completely empty, except for one girl who yelled across the room "who is THAT?" as I was being escorted in. Sorry to intrude on your space, just a dev trying to get a job here... Finally, I spoke for twenty minutes with a dev and the same guy from the phone interview. They did not paint a good picture of the company and accidentally let slip that a lot of developers had left recently. No one else that I was supposed to speak with was available at that time or even came into the office that day. It would have been nice to know that beforehand so we could reschedule instead of wasting my whole afternoon.
