External recruiter found me for this role after her previous candidate refused the offer due to this organization's culture of disrespect and overwork. Her email seemed like a scam but I had 2 phone interviews with employees, and did a presentation (for which I received incomplete instructions) to 3 employees, who criticized it based on omissions due to the incomplete information. The hiring manager didn't hear the presentation because he was 40 minutes late. In addition, the hiring manager invited me to an in-person off-site two hour meeting in which he told me of numerous instances disrespectful and abusive treatment by executives that he and other employees experienced. He reported that the CEO said he is not seeking to hire "A players" because all he only needs people to "follow the playbook." He told me that the next step was to meet three executives, but this was never scheduled. Internal recruiter said she would contact me by "the end of the day," and she never did. After 3 weeks, she sent an email to the external recruiter saying, "Tell her she's rejected." The external recruiter never called me but forwarded the email after I followed up with her. This recruiter also forwarded an email from the hiring manager saying, "Keep her warm." I mentioned this to a colleague, who knows one of the investors, and thought that he would be interested in this experience.
