Optimus Search (OS) guy: What do you do? Where? How? etc. Do you have questions for me? Me: Actually you haven't told me about the position I've applied and that you contacted me for. OS guy: no, in Optimus Search it doesn't work this way, we select a few candidates who apply to our positions, we call them and then we just put you/them in our DB and then eventually let you/them know 2 weeks later OS guy: blablabla (wasting my time again) Would you be interested to hire in your team in your current company someone coming from us? Me: no (I applied to a job position, I never allowed them to sell me people) Practically they did only data collection and tried to sell me their candidates, I really had a strong doubt that all their open positions are fake and they do only data collection.

Total lack of alignment between job description and interview questions. Lots of preoccupation with managing software projects (although not explicit in the job description). Not impressed with lack of alignment between management's vision of what makes Syncroness successful and employees' vision. Company would do well to find a way to get project management team on board with direction management thinks they should go-- but with the lack of respect I saw from two members of management, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
