Entrevista
Applied online and a recruiter reached out less than a week later.
Full transparency: I have only heard amazing things about this company. They have a great product!
I recused myself from the interview process and here is why:
1. The recruiter weirdly seemed to be navigate being a screener whilst being a talent strategist. There was a palatable friction in this duality that came across as arrogance, which might or might not have been intentional.
2. The recruiter was hyper passionate about the company's growth, which bordered on obnoxious and juvenile. (Not having enough space for folks to do their work isn't something that should be bragging rights. )
On the website, compensation is posted with a note: “*compensation may be negotiated based on experience level." The recruiter was clear, compensation was not negotiable.
Note: Comp was not competitive for this particular role.
It was clear the recruiter to knew this, but was simply more interested in making a "deal."

Entrevista
It was an extensive interview process with a total of six stages:
* 30-minute HR pre-check
* 1-hour interview with the VP of Product
* Ad-hoc case study with the VP of Product and a Product Owner
* 1-hour design case with a UX Designer
* 1-hour interview with the CTO
* 1-hour interview with the CEO
Plus, two reference checks.
The discussions were in-depth, engaging, and covered a wide range of topics. Everyone I spoke with was pleasant, and I left with a very positive impression after the final stage.
That’s why it felt quite disappointing to receive a generic, boilerplate rejection email stating they had “moved forward with another candidate.”

There were many questions, but the most important one focused on how I would approach designing an AI agent user workflow.
