I have over 15 years of professional Rails and DevOps experience. I was cold contacted by one of their recruiters. During the initial phone screen, I asked not to be recorded over Zoom due to standard data privacy preferences. They refused an abruptly ended the call. Utterly unprofessional. If you value privacy, data security, or your own time, look elsewhere. Bullet dodged.

Interview
Spoke with the recruiter. Standard getting to know you interview. After that, was handed a HackerRank test. If I were to pass that, there would have been something similar to a in office interview to demonstrate additional critical thinking. After that, a culture fitting type interview.
