I am curious what the coffee prices are - they probably are like 6 CHF ($6+) or more for even a "medium," if they have an equivalent size to that.

I wasn't even rejected by the MBTA - I pulled out of it and thus rejected the MBTA.

Well, it was the calls by those recruiters that I was surprised about - and I naturally rejected them since I wasn't going to associate myself with working for the MBTA, not with the current reputation of the MBTA.
Nor would I work with those recruiters. Double whammy there.

I had interviewed with them back in the summer of 2014, but decided to pull out of the process because I felt something was off about them and thus the MBTA has been in my blacklist since then and likely won't come off anytime soon.

I am not sure if you know IT recruiting in general, so here is what is not so good about them, namely the big ones.
- Many of these Indian recruiters horribly underpay and do not even have the option of things like health insurance (major dealbreaker for me) and PTO (annoying as hell).
- Also, there are a number of employers that view being connected to these recruiters as a negative.
- A few of these have been known to just harvest information for recruitment/interview fraud and H-1B fraud. I heard most common form of this is to use the body of a submitted resume, but change the identifying info of that user's resume.
