I applied online. I interviewed at Resonetics (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
I interviewed with a hiring manager at Resonetics for the Quality Engineer position. Unfortunately, the experience was not positive. The interviewer came across as arrogant and dismissive rather than professional or collaborative. The conversation felt more like a power play than a genuine skills evaluation.
At one point, he mentioned that he might call employees at **9 p.m. if he “needed something,”** which raised immediate concerns about work–life balance — especially considering the position’s salary range (around **$80,000**). The technical questions weren’t designed to understand problem-solving or experience but seemed intended to make the candidate feel inadequate.
**Overall Impression:**
Resonetics has an interesting mission in the medtech field, but this interaction reflected a culture that might not value balance or respect. Candidates should clarify expectations around communication and working hours before moving forward.
**Advice to Management:**
Provide interview training for managers on respectful communication and professional conduct. Remember — candidates are also assessing your company’s values during the interview.
