Initial Stages & Preparation
The process began well; both HR and the Hiring Manager seemed solid. A staff member scheduled a three-hour, in-person interview—my first since before COVID. To prepare, I emailed ahead of time to ask about the dress code, but my inquiry was never returned. I decided to go formal anyway and even bought a new pair of nice shoes for the occasion.
The Commute & Arrival
The commute was the first red flag. The office is located in a different state within an industrial warehouse district. Depending on traffic near the local stadiums, a one-hour drive could easily turn into a two- or three-hour adventure . Upon arrival, I noticed the walls were covered in murals of famous athletes. Despite my suit, tie, and new shoes, I was greeted by a staff wearing shorts and jeans. I felt ridiculous being so overdressed and was perturbed that my dress code inquiry had been ignored.
The Interview Process
What was scheduled as a three-hour meeting turned into an exhausting five-hour ordeal.
Panel Interview: I met with two people in person and one via video. They focused heavily on how I would value a collectible, which felt strangely irrelevant for a Rev Ops role.
Finance Interview: I also met with a finance team member who clearly had not reviewed my resume beforehand; they spent the session coming up with questions on the fly while reading it in front of me.
The Hiring Manager: Despite the length of the day and the distance I traveled, I never actually met with the Hiring Manager during the on-site.
Technical Red Flags & Requirements
The company’s data infrastructure was a major concern. Their data is disorganized, relying on Google Sheets to feed both Finance and Salesforce. Additionally, they require employees to be in the office 3 to 5 days a week, which was a deal-breaker given the stadium-adjacent commute.
Outcome
I chose not to follow up after the interview. They sent a formal rejection a couple of days later, though I would have politely declined had an offer been extended.

Entrevista
Would not recommend this company. I interviewed with people that didn't understand the position they were hiring for. Interviews consisted of multiple rounds 1st 2 rounds went very well. When it came to interviewing with the executive in charge is when things went off the rails.

Entrevista
I really appreciated how transparent the members of the Goldin team were throughout the interview process. The interview began with transparency about the salary and qualifications of the position and that helped to set the bar for the conversation.
