I went through a 4-round remote interview process that was quite red flag-ish. The lack of organization and respect for the candidate’s time was staggering:
- Scheduling Chaos: asked to interview at inappropriate times (after 8:00 PM) to accommodate different time zones.
- One interviewer simply didn’t show up, forcing a later reschedule.
- Some interviewers performed unrequested and informal "background checks" outside of the standard process.
- Throughout the interviews, I sensed a deep level of internal chaos and even toxic attitudes.
- After all this time investment, I received a generic rejection message. Despite multiple polite requests for specific feedback, I was completely ghosted.
If this is how they treat candidates at a Staff/Lead level, I can't imagine what it’s like to work there. Bullet dodged.
Note: interviews were fully remote calls.
