Initially, there’s an IQ test, 8th grade math to test your logic. If you do well and depending on the position(some require higher scores), you get to go to the next round of interviewing. The next round is to see how well of a fit you are culturally. This round went well for me, I enjoyed the interview and after a day or so I was given the opportunity to interview for one more video interview and then one in person. The in-person was interesting to say the least. I was given a scheduled itinerary and when I arrived they switched it last minute. Though, they didn’t say it, it is a psychological tactic used to see how well you’ll comply with change that seems out of your control and how you’ll deal with uncertainty. Frankly, I found it disrespectful, but carried on to interview with two of their executives. The first executive was great, the second not so much. The first executive mentioned that they had recently been bought out and mentioned that the culture has shifted. From what I gathered, it was for the worse; it no longer has a small company “we’re in this together” feel that previous reviewers stated. The second executive, was “meh”. He asked for my pay range and I provided it. The next day, I was offered less than what I was asking, which is normal. I countered and they would not budge, not even in the slightest. In fact, I got a call from their secretary stating that the offer was rescinded. Fine with me, because the mind games they played is not something that I want to be a part of. If they did that during the interview process, then working there must be an unpleasant experience. P.S The office tour puts a heavy emphasis on the adoration of their passed away co-founder. It is very odd, given the fact that they are no longer the same company since being recently purchased. I found it inauthentic and off-putting. Pro-tip, the co-founder was likely a wonderful person, but keep the advertisement siloed from new the interviewees. Don’t reveal the crazy until after they’re trapped.
