Hands down the worst interview experience of my life.
The recruiter would email me and then go AWOL for a week. They never called on time as had been planned earlier. The interviewers were all judgmental freaks who wanted to hear exactly one answer. This wasn't an interactive session at all. One guy was checking his phone throughout the interview – so unprofessional! I should have just walked at that point, but I stuck it out anyway.
Everybody seems to gloat over their culture but has no idea what they're doing to grow in 2017. They don't even recognize Uber as a real competitor, which is plain dumb. Anyway, this just wasn't for me!
Even after the interview, the recruiter didn't bother reaching out, and I had to ping them after a week and still no phone call. Terrible, just terrible!
I have two other offers in hand now, so, all in all, I'm glad this didn't work out.
