My worst interview experience to date. I got only a small fraction of the experience that the employee reviews talk about but it was enough to make me never want to apply to this company again. The owner came off as arrogant, interviewed as if trying to get me to prove myself to him instead of trying to learn about my background and experiences, and came off as if he was trying to make me feel bad about even bothering to apply to his company because I was underqualified. He then spent the last 15 minutes trying to get me to make an oral agreement to stay with the company for 5 - 10 years so that they could justify spending so much money and hours training me, because he's openly paranoid about people staying for only 1 year for SR&D experience and then leaving for his competitors. I can now see why people leave the company so often. After leaving the interview with a bad taste in my mouth, I then received an Excel test that was so convoluted that I didn't even bother completing and voluntarily withdrew my application, which I have never done during an interview process. Afterwards I saw that even 6 months later, the position was still not filled and open to applications, which didn't surprise me. Overall a very strange experience.
