I spoke with two teammates, the hiring manager, and an executive.
The interviews with the two teammates and the manager were pleasant, but they all seemed very overworked and stressed. When I asked about the work environment, they would offer some negative feedback and then add that they 'were not trying to scare me off.' One teammate wasn't even aware he was scheduled for the interview until five minutes before it started.
In the last interview, the executive never showed up, and I had to contact HR. Thirty minutes later, he joined and stated he didn't know he had to attend this interview.
Afterwards, I was ghosted and never heard anything back.
