The person who conducted the interview had pretty low EQ in my opinion. From the get go they had already judged me for working at a larger tech company, however the interviewer has also worked at larger tech companies in the past. They assumed that because I worked at a large tech company, that I actually couldn't do work and keep up with the pace, even though most of my career was based in start ups. I was surprised when I moved forward to the next stage and was given a Take Home Assignment. I wrote a 4-5 page recruiting strategy within the hour time frame they gave me, they responded 20 minutes later to say they want me to move forward to Video Interviews. I was wondering the entire time, how do I know they won't be using my work? The Video Interviews were fine. They 2 people I interviewed with seemed passionate about the work and asked standard questions. Unfortunately the on the interviewers came on about 20 minutes late to the Zoom call, which made for a pretty disjointed experience, but I tried to overlook it as I know tech issues aren't really in our control at times. I was a little surprised that they are just starting to ramp up DEI strategy, it seems like it's coming a bit as an afterthought and that their investors were perhaps putting a bit of pressure on them. Generally speaking, investors came up a lot, which led me to believe that they are are leaning heavily on them to help guide the company at this time.
