Extron Electronics Senior Applications Engineer interview questions

Started with a call from HR for a couple of brief questions then passed to a manager a week later for another phone interview. About 2 weeks later a call from another senior manager for a 20 minute conversation via phone. Finally scheduled for an in person interview a week later. Arrived and did the formal written application waited for an hour to get called in, 20 minutes with first guy. Then lunch with a couple of employees, very nice guys 9 and 13 year employees. After lunch I waited about an hour for interview #2 that took about 20 minutes, then HR interview for 1/2 hour and then meeting with senior manager and a quick tour. Elapsed time 6 hours. I thought the interviews went well and they asked some very good questions. The overall atmosphere seemed a bit sterile and lifeless given that they are an AV related company, no BGM no video playing, no technology demonstrated in public areas. Just seemed a bit strange. Everyone was super nice, looked perhaps a bit overworked but arent we all. No offer yet but I am eagerly waiting.

I was interviewed for a position I was very well qualified to handle. The interviewers were in Anaheim, CA and I was in Raleigh, NC at the Extron office. This was the poorest quality video conference I have participated in. The interview was abruptly ended by HR because I refused to tell my current salary or allow them to speak to my current employer. This request was on the Mickey Mouse style application. I did provide references that included a peer, a former manager and a very well respected business owner in Raleigh, NC. I would stay on un-employment before taking a job with these clowns. Do your home work.
