Initially, I met with the hiring manager for an hour. Then, I was told the job was filled internally, but they contacted me a month later saying that fell through. I then met with the Director of a support function and an HR rep. Next, I met with two partners. Finally, I met with the team.

It was going well until the interview part. First, there was a recruiter call which was fine. But the actual interview was not good. The people interviewing me seemed uninterested and hardly asked anything. One person didn't even talk or interact, which was a really cold vibe. I never heard back from the recruiter about the outcome, and I was essentially ghosted. This was after an interview in August 2025. A disappointing company.

Short but good interview. The recruiter was very polite and helpful, accessible, and quick to put me at my ease. A good culture and a great office. An easy process to work through.
