Entrevista
I had never been ghosted after a final round interview before, but here we are.
The process started well. I received a prompt reply from the hiring manager after submitting my materials and was scheduled for a phone screen the following day. The screen was standard and ended with the recruiter telling me I was well qualified and that they would be setting up an in-person interview with the founder, who was one of Optima's clients.
I drove to their office for the meeting. When I walked in, the founder stared at me for what felt like a very long time before I could shake their hand. For context, I present androgynously and have a gender neutral name. They appeared visibly surprised throughout the entire interview. On a couple of occasions the founder compared me to their teenage children when discussing AI and automation. I have a decade of experience scaling operations in high growth tech environments.
At the end I asked when I could expect to hear about next steps. They laughed loudly and said "We haven't even talked about that, we don't know if you'll be moving on." I assumed they misheard me, thanked them for their time, and left.
I followed up with both the founder and the hiring manager to express my appreciation. Over the following two weeks I reached out two more times to check on status. I never heard back from either of them.

My experience interviewing with Optima Office was overall positive, though it ended with some uncertainty.
I had a brief screening call scheduled for 11:00 AM, but I didn’t receive the call at that time. I followed up by email around 11:30 AM to check in, and I heard back at 12:00 PM. We were able to reschedule the interview for 12:30 PM the same day.
The Human Resources Manager was very friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable speaking with her. I was genuinely excited to learn more about the role and the company, and overall the interview went very well. After our conversation, she sent me a link for the next step in the process, which was an assessment.
I completed the assessment and felt confident about my performance, I believe I only missed one question. After finishing, I followed up again by email, but unfortunately, I haven’t heard back.
Despite that, I had a positive impression of the company and would definitely give it another shot in the future.
