First the recruiter was given a list of questions to ask, then the hiring manager called me and asked several questions, and last was an in person interview in Colorado, the whole process took 2 weeks and cost me over $600 (they did not pay for the flight, but the recruiting agency paid half of the flight cost, so not including hotel, food, or travel/renting car expenses). The original job was supposed to be for Software Engineer position, but they dumbed it down to a Jr. Software Engineer position (with a lower salary) due to "not knowing enough about OOP terminology", fine titles don't mean much to me anyway, I usually work my way up and always prove people wrong which is what I would had done should I received an offer. I noticed right away arriving at the Charter/Spectrum location that the facility was dominated by 90% of the same race (white), that's totally not a problem, but I just felt really awkward as though I did not belong (not a very welcoming feeling) even though I'm 25% German, I knew right away I had to work 10 times harder to get the job. They asked textbook style questions about Object Oriented Programming, stuff you learn in college and don't care to read back after 6 years of development experience as it's pointless to know terminology. Then was the "white-boarding" exercise, where the interviewer asked me to look at a component on a tv screen and make it more "efficient" and "scalable", which I did, and he even admitted my answer worked for him and was "better" than what he had in mind for a solution, BUT apparently they denied me because of the white-boarding answer according to the recruiter that called me, this is by far the strangest interviews I had done, where the interviewer himself said I did great job, but told my recruiters I didn't give him the answer he was looking for, and I did not answer the white-boarding questions properly, what in the world? Why would you lie to me and not tell me during the interview that I am off so I can work for the solution you want, unless you wanted me to fail??? Hmmm... Something very odd is going on indeed, but I truly hope I did not get denied due to the color of my skin. I will NEVER apply to Spectrum in Colorado again, horrible and very odd experience.
