Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Flourish.
Entrevista
I was contacted by a headhunter for this role in summer 2025, despite not actively looking. Initial interviews took place in October, after which the process effectively stalled.
Following the early rounds, I was told interviews were being “paused” and that I would be contacted to reschedule. That never happened. Weeks went by with no communication. I eventually had to reach out myself to get any update, and the explanations provided did not align with what actually occurred. Communication between the company and the headhunter was consistently poor, and that confusion was passed directly onto candidates.
The process dragged on for months with long stretches of silence, shifting narratives, and no clear ownership. Some interviewers were thoughtful and professional, but others seemed disconnected from the role or unclear on expectations. Overall, it felt like internal indecision rather than a structured hiring process.
This is a startup that was acquired by MassMutual, and that dynamic was evident in the interviews. The product value proposition felt underdeveloped, and there was limited clarity around differentiation, target customer, or growth strategy. That lack of clarity showed up not just in the product discussion, but in the hiring process itself.
After months of inactivity, I later saw the same role reposted by the headhunter on LinkedIn in winter 2025, despite having never received feedback or closure from the company. That reinforced the sense that candidates’ time was not being treated seriously.
There may be good people at the company, but the interview experience was disorganized, opaque, and disrespectful of candidates’ time. I would not recommend engaging unless you are prepared for a prolonged process with weak communication and unclear direction.

Multiple rounds of interviews then completely ghosted. Very unprofessional. Everyone on the team seems collaborative and smart but clearly the company doesn’t value feedback or other people’s time. Not sure if they are actually looking to make new hires. Seemed like there is a disorganized vision.

The person who was in contact with me initially seemingly never read their emails - I would have to follow up repeatedly to get basic information. I spoke with four different people for 45 minutes each, then went to their office and did a 90+ minute whiteboarding session, which someone left early for another meeting. At the end of everything - after being told repeatedly that I was a great candidate, that everyone loved meeting me and speaking with me, that it was rare for candidates to get this far - I got an email the next day rejecting me. No reason, no encouragement, just "we decided not to move forward." I followed up thanking them for their time and asking for feedback and never heard back. Tremendous waste of time, especially since they have the same role open again months later.
