I interviewed for the role after applying for the role and the top executive saying how fascinated he was by my background. It took a month before the interview happened but when I met him he seemed very interested as I was there for two hours and he brought another colleague into the room. Then he said I should meet the founder at an event they were staging. I went to the live event but no meeting had been set up with the founder. In fact he left for a lunch after a very short handshake with me. I told the executive and he said I should arrange the meeting with the founder and I emailed him along with writing samples and an outline of my work. Zero emails from the founder. In fact it dawned on me that the executive was using me to try to convince the founder to hire. In fact. Irving has proceeded despite my reading numbers is materials from the company. Such dishonesty and lack of transparency is unethical.
