Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The process consists of EIGHT interviews, where they expect you to be a unicorn. You should be excellent in people management, technical depth, and have a product mindset.
I had 4, and then never heard back from them. I thought it was very disrespectful, given all the time I dedicated to the process.
