Behavioral Technical
The interview was okay. I was annoyed by interruptions, which is rude and unprofessional. There doesn't seem to be teamwork here. The role is basically you; the interviewer couldn't explain the team structure and kept saying you're responsible for others' work on your projects. You delegate but have no direct reports. Don't waste your time. The interviewer failed. I couldn't wait for it to be over. My question about their management style got the response that communication only happens if something's wrong.

I went through two phone interviews and was given an edit test. After that, I was ghosted by both people I spoke with. I had to send multiple emails over a month to find out I didn't get the job. It was super unprofessional and disrespectful.

Everything they told me about this job was false. They said it was a great place to work with a great team, and several team members confirmed this. But in reality, everyone is bitter and seems to dislike the President, leading to very bad morale.
Confirmed questions1 question
- They wanted me to take the job right away and really pressured me to accept the position.

I met with two senior people, one of them the CEO, and it was a chill but to-the-point talk. I felt like we clicked and they said I'd be great for the role and were excited to work together. But, like some others noted, then I got ghosted. No response at all, even after I sent thank yous and a few follow-ups asking about the job status. It really doesn't take much to reply, and I thought that was super unprofessional.
