Purely transactional, with no regard for candidate experience or feedback. The recruiter missed two scheduled calls with vague excuses, and when conversations did happen, they it felt robotic and rushed. After completing an assessment, the following call was used to probe sourcing techniques, again with a cold and assertive tone. Something felt off about this process from the start. After getting this far, I received an automated no-reply rejection email with no reason provided, which was not surprising given how everything had gone. I had seen critical reviews here beforehand and was not fully convinced from the beginning, but curiosity pushed me to move forward anyway :/

Mixed experience overall. The founder interview was genuinely strong and probably the highlight of the process. I had seen some mixed Glassdoor feedback beforehand and wanted to form my own opinion. Whilst the company is clearly ambitious and fast-moving, parts of my experience did reflect some of the comments around interview style and candidate experience. Most of the interviews felt very process-driven and transactional, with limited warmth or human connection throughout the conversations. One of the later-stage interviews in particular felt quite intense, with a strong emphasis on “high pressure/high delivery”. The process also involved multiple stages and a take-home assessment, so I was slightly surprised by how generic the final communication felt given the level of time and engagement invested throughout the process.
