I interviewed at Gemini. My impression was of a business environment somewhere between a startup and a Wall Street boiler room. Glass walls and a beer tap. Lots of extra hours. They told me that there is some turnover and they had trouble finding competent candidates.

The engineer who conducted my principle technical interview seemed to be pleased to find himself in the position of quizzing somebody. "Let's start with some whiteboarding." I did not immediately pick up the marker, but asked him to describe the problem to me, and he looked surprised. There were trick questions, and sometimes the answer was to buy the most expensive equipment. "Wow, I have not heard about that device." He looked really smug when I said that.

The other people I met were pleasant.

At the end, their secretary came to my room and told me "You're done here". At lunch, I noticed a half-dozen missed calls from her saying that she had dismissed me too soon and I had been scheduled to interview with a fourth or fifth person. I did not bother to call back.
