I was contacted by a recruiter about this position. The first call with the recruiter was fine, but the manager I spoke to next seemed very condescending.
They did not introduce themselves, nor did not ask me to introduce myself.
It seemed like it was clear from the beginning that they did not want to hire me. But now it also does not look like a company I'd like to work for.
By the way, on the website and Linkedin they say its 100% remote work, which is NOT true. I guess it looks cool on the website, but they want you to actually come to the office

The interview process was clear and seamless. Everyone I spoke with was kind, approachable, and made the experience genuinely enjoyable. It’s clear that Smartness is building something special with a great team.
A special shoutout to Luigi; he was incredible. I experienced some unexpected health issues during the process, but he was understanding and flexible throughout. I never once felt judged, which meant a great deal to me.
