Bizarre and Unprofessional
I’ve had my fair share of interviews, but nothing could have prepared me for this one. The initial interview felt disorganized from the start. The questions asked were confusing and gave the impression that there was little understanding of the role or what the company was even looking for.
Then came the CEO. If you’re looking for a textbook example of arrogance and hostility, look no further. Condescending, dismissive, and unwilling to engage in even basic conversation about the company, this interaction was beyond uncomfortable. I left feeling like I needed to shake off the entire experience-crawl-out-of-your-skin level discomfort.
Given how strange and unprofessional the process was, I have serious doubts about the validity of all the glowing reviews this company has here. If this is how they treat candidates, one can only imagine what it’s like to work there. Proceed with caution.
Interview held with a couple of team members, and a manager who oversaw a corporate venture arm. Also spoke with an "entrepreneur-in-residence" who asked some questions to gauge fit. Process lasted somewhere between 2-3 months.
I applied online. I interviewed at Halo in May 2022
Interview
Easy and friendly chat. Only had one interview. I think it was mentioned they already had someone lined up. The interviewer was nice and good to talk with. It lasted about 30 min over a zoom call.
