Process
I wasn't very interested in working here, but they reached out, so I thought I'd learn more. There was a 30-minute phone conversation where the recruiter did most of the talking. They didn't seem happy to be there and complained about their workload due to rapid growth. After a week, they decided not to proceed with the interview process but didn't say why or what team I was even interviewing for. The experience was very disorganized and extremely awkward.
