Don't call us, we won't call you either posted by chakotay2329 on May 22, 2008

The interview process is poorly run. They have no respect in that you will spend your time going to meet them and after a long interview, no rejection email or anything at all. They promised they would get back to me right to my face, but never did. Clearly a lot of attitude with the employees, but I suspect it's because the management has beat them up badly. At least that's what the employees told me and they seemed honest about it.

Horrible hiring process posted on May 06, 2007

After interviewing and having the hiring manager tell me I was stellar and they wanted to hire me, I heard nothing at all from them for 3 weeks. Nothing. I tried emailing the HR contact repeatedly, and she just never called me back at all, ever. It was the single most unprofessional thing I've ever in my life dealt with from a potential employer. Finally when I did hear from them it was a lame excuse about my references being the reason they declined to hire more...

Poor choice of toolsets posted by 99999999 on March 01, 2007

After interviewing with these guys, it took me about 5 mins to realize how poorly they had chosen their toolsets, in particular their choice of C++/BOOST. Primarily for a couple of reasons, 1) they didn't want to lose cycles to virtual pointer derefences, so they wrote templates to get around this. 2) They wanted to fit code into very small devices, which they could manage very easily if they didn't use code bloating libraries, or if they used straight C. more...

So glad I never went there. posted on February 26, 2007

After a very long interview cycle, we parted ways, and I am so glad of that. OMG- the top folks within this place NEVER talk to each other. And they hide all their "plans" so that nobody has a clue what is going on. Lots of superstar attitude, little real substance.

The company's engineering purpose--to solve the "last mile" communication problem with a revolutionary networking protocol--is rock solid and its developers get lots of credit for making it happen on a shoestring budget. Unfortunately, CoCo's upper management makes inadequate plans and overemphasises heroism from its developers, so employees don't tend to stay longer than a year or two. This turnover increases the chaos, both organizationally and in more...

CoCo is a total "gravy-train" start-up. The management is profiteering off of people's 9/11 fears instead of focusing on how to be the next network protocol. Thus, they have the higest upper-manager to employee ratio I've ever seen by far; the CEO and VPs just invite other VPs aboard to share in the IPO.

The development teams, on the other hand, are mostly good - a few rock-star personailities that bring down the whole environment, but on the whole, the more...
