I was immersed in my own startup when Daniel Parillo reached out to me via LinkedIn. I wasn’t looking for a change, but his approach was so polite and professional (un-recruiter-like) that I agreed to a phone chat. Daniel made a very compelling pitch about the team and culture at Razer so I thought “what the heck” and I agreed to a phone interview with the hiring manager, Stavros Lee. I really liked Stavros's management style and the fact that he didn't pressure me to make a decision at all – even though the position had been open for some time. Razer flew me up from San Diego to to San Francisco. I interviewed with several engineers and I knew immediately that the fit was perfect for both sides. There was absolutely no disconnect between what I was told by Stavros and Daniel and what I experienced on site. I had a few interesting (non-monetary) requirements during the negotiation process, but Daniel and Stavros bent over backwards to make it happen. As I mentioned earlier, I wasn’t looking for a job, but fortunately the folks at Razer helped me make one of the best decisions of my career. After my first week, there are zero regrets.
