    BEA's Project Genesis is run by unscrupulous thieves - BEA itself is the biggest thief of all. The recruiter (Vicki Mason) for this project called me for an Architect position because of my SaaS background. The VP (Guy Churchward) during the phone conversation wanted to know every detail about my previous employment in the SaaS company - mainly with regards to the SaaS market requirements and user experience + architecture. After having satisfied his knowledge he asked the recruiter to let me know that he does not see me as the right candidate. BEA is a Java company and my background is in .Net. Obviously they did not need my .Net skills which was very clear from my resume. They had called me just to obtain knowledge about SaaS. Clearly a case of serious Industrial Espionage.
