I visited their office. Stiffest interview I've had in memory. One guy transcribed my answers on his laptop "so there's no question about what you said, and we can analyze your answers later". Nothing negative ever said, and when I asked for feedback, I got a glare. Choice quote: "Some of this security stuff is just too much, man." I got the impression that they were just going through the motions of interviewing and not very serious about hiring.
