Negative ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Initial call with recruiter, product presentation, and background discussion.
The recruiter asked for two generic tech screening rounds. When I inquired which team was hiring, she had no idea and said she would get back to me.
After a couple of days, she stated that the team I was interested in was moving forward with other candidates (there were no other candidates!). Later, I found out that the only reason they listed so many senior-level roles was because an investor was trying to save money from the SVB fiasco.
