Recruiter screened me, brought me into the office where I met their CEO. It was overall great and incredibly transparent if not a bit vague. They offered me the job that day and told me to expect an official offer in a few days. They suspiciously took way too long to get back to me so I reached out to the recruiter and she told me they rescinded the offer, will be instead be moving the role to HQ where they’ve restarted the hiring process, and were meaning to tell me the news but never got around to it.
