I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks.

Embarking on what I hoped would be a swift sail with PW turned into a six-week odyssey through a sea of indecision. The journey began with the usual HR pleasantries, yet it was the following rounds that unfurled the flag of confusion. A quartet of interviews, each more perplexing than the last, seemed to be a masterclass in time-wasting. By round 4, the CTO, with a mere four years under his belt, appeared more like a deer in headlights than a tech-savvy leader. Questions tossed around like a salad with no dressing, which were all over the place and utterly tasteless. It was a performance that could make one wonder if the role itself was just a mirage. After a meticulous document submission, akin to handing over the keys to my professional kingdom, PW slammed on the brakes, shelving the position like a forgotten novel on a dusty bookshelf. The irony was a tech company unable to tech its way out of a paper bag in hiring. In short, PW's hiring escapade was a wild goose chase led by a team seemingly using darts on a job description dartboard. There was an experience as enlightening as a power outage, and it was equally unwelcome.

Design problem, blah, blah, blah.
