Got an email from a recruiter about the job. Had a phone interview and then got a contingent offer. Accepted in May 2018 and was told I'd start in 4-6 weeks. But then nothing happened for 2 months. My contact person had no idea what was going on and kept saying they'd get back to me with updates, but never did. I waited for months more with no news. Finally, in September 2018, my contact told me onboarding was being paused and it looked like they were losing the contract, which was apparently in flux when I was hired but I wasn't told. So I withdrew my acceptance. Super negative experience, awful communication, they strung me along. Honestly, better to go with bigger companies that have their hiring and contracts sorted.
