Hello All,

I luckily found myself in the position of having two offers.
I've thought about it and I'm having difficulty of trouble selecting company A or company B.

The interview experience at company A was far superior. I ate lunch with three people. I had a drink with seven after the interview on the balcony.

So, right after the interviews it was a 90/10 split for company A.
After the interviews and the extensive amount of speaking I've done with company B it's a 40/60 split for company B.

The reason for the switch to company B has been:
+ Their recruiter and company have been *far* more responsive. I interpret this as professionalism.
+ My lead would have more industry experience at about twenty years and be an engineer
+ Work seems more systems programming
+ Less concern about lack of togetherness (they eat their lunch at their desks....     )
+ Less concern about being fired. I saw the interview feedback so think it could be a good fit.

Granted the reputation for company B is that they're more prone to fire people based on performance.
At company A my lead would not be technical, but other people in our pod would be.

I guess my question is, how important do you think the interview experience is?
Company A was the clear winner post interviews, but has really dropped the ball while company B has done a great job connecting me with people, addressed concerns, and shown professionalism.

Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.
