I had an initial call with a recruiter and then scheduled the next step for a technical evaluation. I ended up canceling the follow-up because 1) they don't use seniority levels via title (with documentation), and 2) they don't let you negotiate your starting salary. This is so anti-competitive, it's wild.
I understand the job market is hard right now but it genuinely feels like they are taking advantage of their position as an employer. There are better fish out there, guys.

My interview experience was great. Met with engineers and leadership, questions were interesting and practical. Everybody I spoke with seemed very excited about the product, and happy to be working at Descript. The company was very generous and considerate with its time as I navigated multiple offers. Came out feeling that the product was great and people even better!
