I think there is something oddly wrong with the way these folks hire, especially their tech hiring. They let me know completely different expectations on the technical interview, going through online tests, and then having it reviewed by someone who didn't know how to review technical interviews. I believe whoever is at the top of these decisions, the technical founder, needs to rethink his logic because it shouldn't be difficult to understand that recruiters shouldn't be reviewing technical tests. It should be obvious, so I don't know why he struggles with such basic and rudimentary logic when it comes to tech hiring, or, just hiring in general. Throwing unnecessary money to hire people to fix your poor hiring practices doesn't solve anything when you lack the ability to own up to it yourself.
They make it so that you feel like you can't code, but apparently they can't either, as pointed out by another senior engineer here who said that their own technical tests are faulty and of poor quality. Maybe don't take it from me, take it from the rest of the experiences here. If a company this tiny already has a collection of poor interview experiences within such a short time frame, perhaps these founders are the problem, no matter how much they want to make it feel like its yours, just to help them sleep at night.
Employees have already highlighted that these founders can't take criticism well, and clam up when they do. That reads insecurity to me, and its a dangerous combination especially when someone like that is potentially in charge of a hiring decision or an employee's well-being. It's evident that they are scared of leaving bad reviews up, because they somehow removed some and then it looks like they tempted their new hires to bombard the page with positive reviews, all posted within the same week. That seems... desperate.
I think one should stay away from here. It seems like a place that will run itself into the ground in the future. Or at minimum, start laying people off once they've realized they've burned too much money to try and fix problems they could have solved themselves if they thought it through more.
