Interview steps were fine, it was multi-round but no project, which is a standout in today's market and appreciated as interviewing takes quite a bit of time on it's own. People were generally nice, but you got the feeling that there was a lot of burnout on the team and/or lack of alignment. It was also strange not meeting any team mates, only leaders which felt redundant, and that collaboration wasn't a value. Get Well is a smaller company but felt old school, like it runs like a much larger and slower company - could be a pro or a con.
The pay is quite a bit lower than market standard for these roles in this industry as well, which was a downside. However, sometimes culture can sell taking a lower salary. In this case, it did not. Usually in interviews there's at least one person that makes you think "I'd love to work with/for them" which would push you towards accepting an offer, but didn't have that experience unfortunately.
The worst part of the experience was that the interviews were close together and happened quickly, so you had motivation, but it took a month to hear back on the decision. At that point any candidate worth their salt has lost interest and is disengaged from the process.
After all of the effort a candidate puts in, it says a lot to candidates about culture too. Either that their team can't make decisions quickly, they sent an initial offer to someone else but were waiting for acceptance that took much longer than it should (and you're not a first choice) or the team isn't connected enough to meet and make a decision. Either way, if I had received an offer, it would have been declined. Wish the org success but the hiring process could be improved quite a bit!
