The founder was being an ignorant person to matters that need attention like work life balance & DEI (He doesn’t believe in it).
There was a line in the JD that said “They’re looking for someone who will improve their Work life balance” and the founder said that was sarcasm 🌚 during the interview. Apparently he doesn’t feel the need to have a work life balance at techup labs since everyone working there is passionate about the work and they won’t get exhausted.
He was behaving like a manchild throughout the interview where it was “his way or no way!”
I realised in the 11th hour that this is a self funded company which has been running for 4-5 years. So I suppose his behaviour is justified.
