I applied through university. I interviewed at Netronome (Cranberry, PA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Met at career fair and handed over resume. Was contacted via email and had a phone interview set up. performed decently. Didn't go well. Was sent an email saying, I was rejected.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netronome in Aug 2011
Interview
I first became interested in Netronome when I saw some positive reviews on glassdoor. The interview process went alright and a couple of days later they told me they were working on an offer for me. They hoped to give me it by the end of that week. That time frame went by and then they finally asked for some references. The references checked out well so they told me I'd have my offer a couple of days later. That time frame went by and then I got a call a few days after saying that I would now receive no offer. It two two weeks from them telling me that I'd get an offer to finally telling me that I wouldn't. They strung me along and finally ended up going with some recently laid off Cisco employees. That is some really shady business practices.
