Screening interview left a very poor impression. The Exec on call came across disengaged and dismissive throughout. The interview style was one-sided and adversarial, with no effort to explain the role, culture, or company vision, which is unusual for a company at this stage. Advice to management: First touchpoints should showcase energy, respect, and a clear vision - especially at Series B that should attempt to attract strong talent. Structure conversations as genuine, 2-way dialogues as having senior leaders lead interviews this way risks turning away high-quality candidates.
