I applied online. I interviewed at Ascend Analytics (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2021
Interview
I found the job posting on Linkedin and applied via email with my CV and Resume.
The process took 1 week between the first interview and receiving the offer letter.
The first interview was with a senior engineer and the hiring manager. This interview was a very positive experience.
The second round was a 30-minute interview with the CEO. I found this interview experience to be unprofessional and unpleasant for several reasons.
Overall, the experience was mediocre. Ascend Analytics was very responsive. However, found that the job was described differently in the application than what the job actually entailed.

Interview
Unorthodox, unprofessional and abusive interview process. This place has no respect for it's employees or candidates. Read the ex-employee reviews on glassdoor, and DO NOT APPLY HERE. This place is highly abusive, and should be avoided like the plague, as stated in the non-fake reviews. Management, CEO and HR are clearly indicated in writing false reviews on Glassdoor to make the company look better, as stated in multiple ex-employees. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Contact ex-employees on LinkedIN if you don't believe it.

Interview
Interviewed Early 2021
1st round was a 30-40 minute phone screen interview, 2nd round was a 30 minute Zoom call with CTO, 3rd round was 50 minute in-person with VP Engineering, and final round with CEO in-person.
I was highly considering accepting the offer until the final interview with the CEO. This interview was extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. Please look at the other Glassdoor reviews of ex-employees as well before considering working here, it seems that there have been many problematic exchanges with the CEO.
