I applied through other source. I interviewed at Founders First Capital Partners (San Diego, CA)
Interview
I felt throughout the process there was a lot of red flags. It was unclear of the process. I was told one thing then it would change. There were constant requests to have calls or to come back to talk to people, interviews were canceled last minute or individuals did not show for calls. Eventually I decided to move on as I felt this was a sign of poor culture or leadership where they are unable to make a decision or it was a constant culture of changing direction.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sometimes I felt very little questions would be asked and mostly they would discuss their mission or business objectives and ask 'do you have experience with that?"
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Founders First Capital Partners (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Started with an HR screen which was great, probably the highlight of the process, the interview was a true gem amongst the pebbles in the organization.
Then a colleague interview - also great.
Then an assignment which was fairly easy if you know what you are doing. Now comes the not so great.
A panel interview with multiple departments...they asked questions rapid fire that felt more like a grill session...Just asking random irrelevant questions with some I'd argue were illegal in an HR context...
Then came a personality quiz (such a joke) but the worst of all was the CEO interview...Take these reviews to heart, one talk with the CEO and I knew that this organization is mismanaged and lacks leadership guidance...Questions I asked were such a waste of time as they were either irrelevant or completely covered in the HR screen...I truly have never experienced such a bizarre interview and I wholeheartedly believe it told me everything I would need to know about this awful, misrun, organization...Hard pass...
