I received an offer but declined it.

The interview process was, without exaggeration, horribly slow. It took a solid three months from the initial recruiter contact to the final offer letter after negotiation. This was despite my quick responses and having offers from two other major (F/A/N/G) companies. It was also despite "acing" the Lyft interviews, according to the feedback from the hiring manager and recruiter.

The interview structure was standard:

• Seven on-site interviews, each 45 minutes long.
• A couple focused on system design with whiteboarding.
• The rest were behavioral.

The engineering managers who interviewed me seemed very inexperienced. Most appeared bored, serious, or disinterested. One constantly and openly yawned throughout the entire interview. None of them pitched the company.

Ultimately, the recruiter ghosted me. I had to contact her manager to restart the process and was assigned a different recruiter. This second recruiter also frequently went silent and required frequent nudging.

In the end, I did not accept the offer due to the poor impression of the recruitment process and the uncertainty surrounding their RSUs.

How do you manage low performers?
