*Took an interview on vacation, worked on the project on vacation to meet deadlines. I felt I prepared extremely well for all interviews and received nothing but positive feedback from the team. Communication was poor throughout the process. They didn’t have respect for my time - I had another offer from a different company but they made me wait two weeks just to reject me at 6pm on a Friday after I had to follow up for any communication. This put my other job offer in jeopardy.
I was extremely communicative throughout the process. When I sent thank you notes to my references and let them know I didn’t get the job, they were all extremely confused because they had given glowing reviews and said the Maven team made it seem like they were preparing to give me an offer.
Very misleading, lengthy, lack of communication. In 2025, it shouldn’t be commonplace to require a project unpaid.
