Process
Contacted for an interview two months after applying for the role and waited two weeks to get on the HR person's calendar.
The HR screening was simple, just reaffirming interest and asking salary expectations.
The HR person was a little crass, cutting me off in the middle of talking due to time constraints. I assume it was because she had back-to-back meetings all day.
Next was the managerial interview. Typical behavioral questions. We had good rapport, but the manager seemed completely uninterested during my responses and couldn't really answer my questions about the company due to their tenure only being a month long.
Overall, it seems like they had already made up their mind. When I asked for individual feedback (because I thought the interview went well), I received none.
I thought startups were trying to break the norm?

CoreWeave Work Experiences
- 4.0Solid company with cool technologySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 6, 2025Pros: Lots of incredibly smart engineers. Really cool technology.Cons: Heavy focus on moving fast, which has definitely resulted in technical debt. Influx of middle and upper managers from FAANG companies.
- 1.0You can't buy cultureEngineer • Current EmployeeJuly 15, 2025Pros: Wall Street loves the stock.Cons: The culture is hot garbage. Hiring AWS and GCP execs somehow didn't fix this.
- 1.0Great engineers hindered by incompetent managementSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJuly 10, 2026Pros: Great engineers, hard-working smart talents, a good engineering culture, and a supportive environment from peer engineers.Cons: Mid-level management are grossly incompetent and have no idea what they're doing. They micro-manage engineers to death, create long meaningless meetings, post fake encouragement like "LFG", don't listen to feedback, and care only about their own optics. There is lots of meaningless red tape that is only for show.
