Has anyone managed to give intel onsite interview..any results, rejects, or just background check requests with no result ?

Looks like the layoff was a critical component in a brand new grand strategy to pivot toward differentiation. GF has announced a pivot to IoT applications, which they expect to execute on now that they have gotten rid of their experienced technical... — read more
