I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ditto (CA) (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
One star — Six months, two offers, then ghosted
I interviewed for a senior engineering leadership role over a six-month period. I completed multiple rounds, received a verbal offer, and negotiated in good faith. The process was then paused for months while new leadership came in. Fine... these things happen.
When they reopened the role, I re-engaged, did additional interviews, and received a second verbal offer. Then, when I couldn't accommodate a last-minute start date driven by their fiscal year deadline—after clearly explaining my constraints weeks earlier—I was ghosted. No rejection. No explanation. Just complete silence for over five weeks, despite multiple follow-ups to both the recruiter and hiring manager.
Six months. Two offers. And they couldn't send a single email to close the loop.
The people I interviewed with were good. The tech sounded interesting. But the recruitment function is either broken or nobody cares enough to fix it. Either way, it tells you something about how this company operates.
If you're a senior candidate with options, think carefully before investing your time here. They'll happily waste it.
Advice to management: Your recruiters are the first impression candidates have of your company. Right now, that impression is "we don't respect your time and we won't even tell you no." That's a brand problem.

Difficult and whiny. The recruiter would reach out to schedule the next steps, but complain about candidates' availability, or the system used to input time slots, before ultimately scheduling for the wrong time zone anyway.

Poor candidate experience and below market pay. Pretty standard initial HR screen followed by an hour long interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager had positive feedback and the recruiter reached out to schedule the next round with the CRO. 4 business days later the recruiter followed up to say they identified a candidate who just became available on Monday and were making an offer so they would not be proceeding. Overall, a really poor candidate experience and it's pretty clear I dodged a bullet with this company if that's how they treat people. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with their interview process.
