Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fui entrevistado pela DoraHacks em ago. de 2024
Entrevista
Seemed to go very well at first, which should have been my first clue. Recruiter interview and first leadership interview were showered with accolades.
First leadership interview didn’t even turn his camera on, which was weird but I guess when you know you’re being dishonest it can be helpful.
Had a second leadership interview that went way over time, they asked a lot of process questions.
Next and final step was designing a campaign and strategy.
Then went totally silent and when asked for feedback they said “it seemed like your strategy was ChatGPT and not original.”
First of all, no it wasn’t — the assignment wasn’t even complex enough to require a ton of ChatGPT beyond basic research about the company and product.
Second of all, what emerging technology startup (this company operates in an incubator/accelerator fashion) would deter the use of the latest tools? Would they have said “it seemed like you used Google 15-20 years ago?”
Very shady experience.

They asked for a full campaign launch strategy and brand story. It was not an especially difficult assignment, but it was very time consuming.
And yes, I did use ChatGPT to learn about their specific business so that I could apply that knowledge to the strategy.
Research is a pretty basic use of the tool. Not sure why this would be viewed as negative.
Felt like they were just farming information and never had any intention of actually hiring. Role is still open as “remote for now” with an outrageous salary range.
Looking back, it was a very shady and exploitative experience.
