Things started fine with this start-up/incubator, and I had very pleasant conversations with both the initial recruiter and the person who was supposedly the hiring manager, although both these calls were relatively short. After those calls, however, things started to get a bit more challenging. I was asked for availability for a series of 30 minute interviews, all of which would be performed remotely via video since the position would require relocation for me (this was covered early on in the process). I provided several windows of time, and then waited for several days before anything was confirmed. The coordinator confirmed my appointments at 8pm my time (11pm their time) for just about one day in advance. I responded positively, but asked for details about the video connection, since the email indicated the interview was in person and it provided instructions for how to get to their office and check-in, etc. (it was clearly a form letter that was cut and pasted). I received no reply after 12 hours, so I reached out to the coordinator and now my original recruiter who thankfully stepped in to get things re-arranged. The next morning (the same day as my 3.5 hour video interview), the coordinator emailed again stating that they'd have to reschedule since some people were out of office. I understand that schedules are often fluid in a start-up and I'm flexible, but this was bordering on ridiculous. Against my better judgement, I agree to reschedule things for the following week. I repeated the process, then carved out another 3.5 hour block for them. Now, just two days before the call, the recruiter reaches out and tells me the position isn't going to be filled for the "forseeable future." Instead, they'll use an "internal resource" to many of these functions. Of course, the position is still listed on their site as open, as well as being advertised on both Indeed and LinkedIn (and here, frankly). It sounds like an interesting place to work, and perhaps if I had been local, it would have been easier to navigate their hiring process. But I violated one of my own cardinal rules - if it feels like things are crazy there, run, don't walk and don't look back.
