I applied via Linkedin and had a request for a phone interview 2 days later. The talk was nice but it was not with a recruiter but with a Marketing person. After the talk we scheduled an inperson interview with the CEO, the Marketing person and a computer programmer. Their office is near South Station. Upon arrival it immediately became strange as the Receptionist gave me a very formal big packet of items to fill out. I thought it was odd for a small startup to try to be so formal so I just wrote refer to resume inside the majority of it. Next the CEO arrived with the Marketing person and they conferenced in their programmer who was remote. In our conversations I immediately became concerned about the CEO who didn't seem to focus much on business issues such as recurring revenue streams or how to effectively expand their market base. He was more focused on how to make his apps look cool. We had a discussion about how to quickly build a next gen database when they had a legacy system in place. We also talked about the difference with non-profits and for profits. I asked what their SDLC was only to be told they didn't know what SDLC meant - a big warning sign. Further conversation determined they had no process in place - another potential big warning sign. My overall sense was there was no sense of urgency to find a business model that would sustain them past their grant funding. From a product professional standpoint this was another big red flag. I left with the feeling that I would not hear anything from them again and I was right.
