The writing team was stellar, recruiting not so much. The sourcer IMed me 6 times with the canned template during the course of the hiring process, 5 of which were while I was in talks with them and one as late as the morning of the offer. It mitigated the experience. The talent team didn’t have a good grip on how negotiations should go. I felt pushed to reveal my cards instead of them offering a reasonable package from the outset. Why play games.

After a very pleasant screening interview, the interview with the hiring manager was more businesslike. I didn't get the impression they cared as much about my background and experience as they did in my ability to define terminology.
