Interviewed at several portfolio companies. Initial conversations were very strong. Recruiters demonstrated strong interest.
During interview experience one the hiring manager from company A and I had a great conversation. She was very complementary and pretty much told me I was what she needed on her team. I was invited to their office at a TBD date. Then, the inevitable "ghosting occured".
A few months later I had an interview with another recruiter regarding "company B". Similarly the recruiter and hiring manager were very complementary. Once again, I was invited for an in person discussion as early as that same day...then once again I was ghosted.
I should also note that I have friends that have interviewed at various portfolio companies at Scaleworks. They report similar experiences - great initial conversations then the inevitable ghosting.
Based on these interviews it appears that they offer below average compensation. They attempt to make up for the lower compensation by touting their office location and company culture. They also seem to compensate via inflated titles instead of tangible compensation benefits.

I should note, many months later both positions (or a variation of them) still seem to be posted in various online forums. Given the young organizations under the Scaleworks portfolio it appears their immaturity is showing.
