15-20 minute phone call with CTO in which he critiqued my work, didn't really let me speak/ask questions and quizzed me on trivial topics ("who invented x or y technology?"). As said in other reviews, the CTO is pushy and confrontational, which doesn't engender a pleasant first interview. I appreciate blunt interviews but this company really needs to hire a recruiter with social skills for the initial phone screening so candidates can ask them questions to gauge if CultureIQ is worth their time -- it's a two-way street. I felt like my time wasn't valued speaking with this company and will not reach out to them in the future.
