I applied to BitTitan after seeing an advertisement posted on Linkedin. Glassdoor spoke very highly of the company and how it's one of the best companies to work for in the Seattle area. The Talent Acquisition team contacted me within 24 hours of applying and we set up a time via email to speak over the phone for an initial phone screen. The interviewer called me 5 minutes past our scheduled time (seems to be par for Seattle tech companies), and she broke down what we would be talking about on the call. First, we very briefly went over my experience and what i'd be looking for in a future role. I was excited to work for a smaller startup as an FTE as my past positions were contracts with large tech companies. She then gave me a background on the position and what is involved. She did say that their motto is "Get [expletive] Done" - which I was a little taken aback by, but it's a start-up, so no biggie. There were no behavioral questions - just a simple introductory call. She asked me what I was looking for salary-wise and as I was answering we got disconnected. I waited 10 minutes for a call back before I finally pulled her number from our email and called her back. She answered with a very odd, "Hellllloooooooo?" This is where the interview took a really negative turn. I assumed the problem was on my end and apologized for the disconnection. She asked me the salary question again, and I mentioned that it would depend on a number of factors, but I was curious what someone in that position usually starts at. She replied with, "Haha, Noooo, I asked you first." I told her what I earned hourly in my last two positions. She literally replied with, "Oh, I know, I'm not [expletive] I can do the math." This interviewer from BitTitan just used an incredibly insensitive term on an initial phone call. I couldn't believe it. I instantly thought if I had a high level candidate and forwarded them onto the her for further persuasion, would they get the same treatment? The same lack of professionalism? I was instantly no longer interested in working for such a company. Finally, the interviewer ended the conversation with a generic, "We aren't really moving forward on this position very quickly, but if we decide to, i'll be happy to reach out to you for another interview." Which is obviously a veiled rejection, and it contradicted what she initially said. Even if she or anyone from her company reached out to me again, I would instantly reject their offer for another interview. The unprofessionalism, immaturity, and gall of the interviewer makes BitTitan a hard-pass.
