Seemingly above-average pay and benefits

Cons

I went through the interview process with this company and pulled out before the onsite stage.

Everybody I met from this company gives me the creeps. First one was the recruiter, who was rude on the phone and kept pressing about my salary expectations even after I said I'd like to meet the team first.

It was very unprofessional and honestly strange. I've never had a company do this to me, and then I talked to the hiring manager. This guy seemed entirely obsessed with velocity and doesn't know anything else.

I asked him about their eng design process before impl. He said they don't do design anymore and just use ChatGPT to code an "MVP" and that's their design? What does that even mean?

Then he was visibly STUNNED and paused for a good 10s when I asked what he considered important when it comes to talent retention. You can tell he's never thought about that before.

Terrible, terrible leadership, full of red flags. I pulled out immediately after that. This company's culture seems extremely toxic and dysfunctional. Would absolutely avoid.
