I applied online through LinkedIn. About two weeks later, I got a brief phone call with one founder, then a month of silence went by. Then I was invited in for a very casual conversation with two founders. About two weeks of negotiating benefits, terms, and pay via email and phone followed before I got an offer letter. I ended up getting roughly what I was looking for in terms of base pay, though I was frustrated that I could not get equity in such a senior role at a young, VC-backed company. Turned out to be okay though, because the company struggled significantly while I worked there.
