Applied online and received an email response within a few days asking for writing samples. More than a month later, I received an email asking if I would be available for a phone interview. Phone interview lasted for an hour. Both of the interviewers were professional and seemed kind and competent and interested in me. A few days later I received an email asking me to come in for an in-person interview and letting me know that someone would be in touch to schedule. When the person finally got in touch a few days later, I was surprised to find that he also wanted to interview me on the phone. We had an approximately half hour long conversation during which he asked me nearly the exact same questions as had been asked in the previous phone interview. He seemed generally disorganized and interrupted me frequently. At the end of the interview, he scheduled an in-person interview and said he would send a confirmation email. I never received an email. At the in-person interview, I was first made to fill out a giant stack of paperwork, including an application, a background check form and a bunch of NDA forms. This took approximately a half hour, and it seemed like a giant waste of time (couldn't they email these and have candidates bring them in signed?). Then I met for an initial interview with the same individual with whom I had spoken with on the phone and who had set up the in-person interview. Just as he was on the phone, he seemed distracted and disinterested in the interview. Furthermore, he treated many of my questions with disdain and was generally weird and unprofessional. After this meeting, he told me that he was going to bring in the next round of interviewers and asked me not to leave the room. I waited for at least 20 minutes in there before the next set of people came in. I then met with the actual persons with whom I would be working directly. This interview was totally normal, so I was starting to think that the disorganization and unprofessionalism of the first guy was just a fluke. BUT at the end of these interviews, I was told to wait again. After another 20 minutes passed, one of the interviewers came back and told me that he could not find the first interviewer to ask what to do next; they would have to ask me to come back next week to finish the interviews. This was extremely frustrating because I had been there for hours (most of the time was spent waiting), I live an hour away, (which they knew), and because I am currently employed and had to take more time off work. When I came back the following week, I met with a higher up in the company who also seemed only marginally interested in me and spent 90% of the interviewer time monologuing about how great the product and company is. It was a exceedingly short interview (15 minutes). Basically, I took off work and then drove for an hour to have a 15 minute conversation during which I said almost nothing. We could have video-conferenced or had a chat over the phone... or better yet, the interviewer could have not disappeared in the middle of my first interview... I ended up receiving a job offer a few days later, but the amount offered was significantly under market and the benefits were not great. I counteroffered at 20% more––an amount that would still be slightly under market––and was treated as if I had mortally offended the entire company. The disappearing interviewer called me and we had a lengthy conversation during which he implied that I was pushy and money grubbing and all manner of other offensive things. We ended the conversation with me having asked probably seven or eight times for him to merely present my counter and rationale to management. He finally agreed, but also told me that the company doesn't attempt to be competitive with industry standards with regard to salary because employees are "hit or miss"––meaning that they don't want to invest in people who won't turn out to the good workers. This struck me as a HUGE red flag. I was, at the point, pretty sure that I would not accept the offer even if they had agreed to my terms, but I received an email the next day telling me that they would stick with the original offer anyway. Though I enjoyed meeting some of the people there, my overall experience of the place was that they are disorganized, very unprofessional, and that they don't value their employees. I have no regrets about turning down this company––not only was the compensation pretty laughable, but also their lack of organization and professionalism doesn't bode well.
