Process
I applied through LinkedIn, and the recruiter was very helpful in scheduling the interview call.
I was interviewed by someone from the engineering team who did not seem serious about the role he was interviewing for. I heard he was driving during the interview call.
He hadn't asked me any deep technical questions, nor was the interview productive. The interview experience was bad as I was rejected for no adequate reason.
I like the company's product, but the people seem less serious about whatever they do. I dislike the way they interview without serious questions to assess candidates.
