ProDIGIQ Interview Questions
& Process

This was probably the most confusing and unprofessional interview I've ever had. The CEO mentioned my facial expression seemed off and even threatened to end the interview. He also stated he'd reviewed my resume and wasn't interested in hearing about my past work, but instead wanted to know about my "tenacity and grit". The company was described as sink or swim. I'd advise against this one if you don't want to be treated very unprofessionally. I'm still puzzled by the lack of professionalism he showed during this initial screening.

After applying, I got a call from HR who was super helpful in finding a good time for a phone interview. It was pretty standard, mostly talking about my resume and the job duties. Later that week, I interviewed with the CEO, who seemed really focused on finding people who align with the company's core values. About a week after that, I was invited to the office to meet with both the CEO and the President. The main thing they seemed to care about was culture fit, like they're trying to build a really committed and hardworking team that feels like family. It was a good mix of being professional while also figuring out what I truly believe in and what I could bring to the company.

The interview process was pretty standard, with common questions about my strengths, weaknesses, career goals, and past work. They also had a culture fit part because they really value their close-knit team and are picky about who they hire. It took about 3 weeks, which felt long, but I liked that they checked if I was a good fit for them and if they were a good fit for me. They were really open about everything and responded quickly. I also liked the chatty interview style. Even though I talked to top people like the CEO, CTO, and Director of Business Development, I felt relaxed and could just talk about what I wanted to say, not what I thought I should say. Everyone was super nice and normal.

So I interviewed with this company way back in 2015 when they were just getting started. I randomly thought about them and wondered if they were still around, so I looked them up and figured I should leave a review since the ones here seem a bit off. The interview process was pretty disorganized and took about 3 weeks. It started with the CEO calling me on a Sunday for a phone interview. Then I had to come in for an in-person interview with several people. They asked for 4 references and actually called all of them. In total, I had 5 interviews, a mix of phone and in-person. At the time, I was trying to switch careers and really wanted this job, but as I spoke more with Arpit and his employees, something just didn't feel quite right. His employees didn't seem truly happy, and I remember asking the Marketing guy how long he'd been there, and he mentioned doing 60-hour work weeks pretty often. They kept talking about how good things were and how they thought I could handle a lot of extra work and do different roles. They wanted me to be an office manager, make cold calls, and manage projects, among other things. Arpit and his wife thought I could manage it all, but things really went south when I asked the marketing guy about the average weekly work hours because having a work-life balance was important to me, coming from a job where I did so much overtime. They never answered my question, and Arpit got annoyed that I asked, feeling like I wasn't serious about the job. That was a big red flag for me, and it seemed pretty clear I'd be doing a ton of overtime. Also, they asked if I was planning to have kids anytime soon, which I felt was a really inappropriate question. After all the discussions, I decided to let them know I wasn't interested in the job anymore. I've seen the reviews here, and they feel fake and pushed. Check LinkedIn and search for people who've worked there; you'll see high turnover and that many ended up at two other specific companies. It looks like past employees got others to refer them to their new jobs.
