I applied via Indeed and soon after was called by an assistant asking me to come in for an interview. Upon arrival I was seated at one of the kitchen displays and given sort of an IQ test that was timed. Seems they had a consultant sell them on the value to the random questions, some math, some situational. The interview was with the CEO in his office. The conversation was very casual, mostly about past work experience and shared industry contacts. He gave me a brief history of the company and his role. A few weeks later I was invited back to meet with two people in operations. One was very energetic and positive. The other was far less approachable and seemed more concerned in talking me out of the job. As others have pointed out, the job titles at Airoom are not consistent across the industry. The PM role is more of a design and sales role. Looking back on things I should have heeding the advice. A couple weeks later I received an emailed job offer. The terms of the offer include several odd requirements that essentially strip the employee of privacy and 1A rights. The offer was below the range of the posted salary expectations, but a section of the offer had a wildly contrived set of goals for bonus opportunities connected to sales and profitability. Simply put, there was no room for negotiation on any of it.

First step was to take a standardized test, a little off putting & the language on it was super dated. Looked like it was copied 500 times from a typewriter (first red flag). Then I was asked to come upstairs to dated offices and sit on a crusty couch. I was met by one of the owners who wasn't the friendliest. Came off very stern & direct. Very intimidating for someone to interview with and didn't have me thinking "I would love to work here" (2nd red flag) He didn't ask me open ended questions, or about my resume. He just grilled me for 10-15 minutes about my current role with a confused look on his face as to why I would've been applying for a project manager role as a current project manager. Then continued to tell me this is more of a "sales/design role" even though it was posted as "project manager" position. Complete waste of an hour drive for a pretty rude, awkward interview where I felt like I was an idiot leaving a terrible casting. He and I both agreed I am not looking for a sales position, but wow HR is needed here. I sent an email to whoever invited me to interview to tell them the post is misleading & inaccurate as I fit the role for a PM. Not that I ever would've accepted after the vibe of this though. I left feeling so weird being in the room with him, I felt scolded for even showing up.
