It started with two surprise phone calls from the hiring manager - no scheduling, just "Can we talk right now?" After these 30-minute chats, they invited me for an in-person interview.
The big day was exhausting - six straight hours (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM) with no breaks. I met multiple team members, answered technical questions, and discussed projects. While the work seemed interesting, the process was draining.
Here's where things got bad:
No follow-up: They promised feedback in a week. After chasing them, they kept saying "we need more time" for weeks. Eventually, they just stopped responding.
Unpaid expenses: While they did pay for my flight to the interview (which was good), they never reimbursed my other interview costs. For 8 weeks they kept saying "1-2 more days" but the money never came.
The technology might be impressive, but their hiring process shows serious disorganization. Think carefully before investing your time with them - you might end up frustrated like I did.
