One of the main things that attracted me to this company was the fact that they were a start up company in an emerging space with a lot of opportunity for growth and a great culture. Being that fact that I have spent a large majority of my career growing within this space I know exactly what to expect, but I was disappointed and shocked following this interview process and found the company to be extremely unprofessional and unorganized even at a start up level. After spending 5 hours with a number employees from this company from start to finish and going through a number of behavioral based interviews , I was given a soft offer by the companies head of recruiting. During this phone call I was not only told the main responsibilities of the role/expectations, but the compensation plan and also expected start date, the next steps was that I would receive an offer letter the following morning pending one final approval by the CEO (which was communicated that this should be no problem). The next afternoon I received a call explaining to me that I was no longer being extended the role and I had been rejected by the executive team due to my lack of seniority and technical abilities. To any candidate this is a huge letdown but during a pandemic at that it made me feel that much more disrespected an that my time was not valuable. Please note that I was NOT once asked about my technical abilities NOR strides I have made throughout my career and was even told on one of my interviews and I quote "we are agnostic to specific skill sets rather we are looking for the next best candidate" from an interviewer. I saw a lot of opportunities within this company and it was quite the disappointment to be treated in such an unprofessional manner. I do wish the company the best of luck and hope they are able to mature over the years and focus a bit more on candidate experience and understand the importance of it.
