I applied online. I interviewed at Unchained Capital (Austin, TX)
Interview
Genuinely unimpressed. They are looking for someone who has a cryptocurrency culture identity--not someone who possesses merit.
Recruiter failed to inquire about my experience, displaying a lack of interest in how my skills translate into the role. The recruiter did not share anything about the company. Typically, an interviewer will hype up the employer, which they did not do. Recruiter looked off to the side several times during the virtual interview, indicating there was someone off camera in the room with them. Recruiter was hyper focused on a temporary position I held many years ago and reason for leaving my last employer. Company desires to project an entrepreneurial vibe. However, they've been around for at least 10 years. The position doesn't maneuver Bitcoin or involve knowledge of crypto, but the recruiter behaved as though you ought to own Bitcoin even if you were going to scrub toilets for them.

Interview
HR Screen - Basic interview questions with some about crypto. They would not divulge any salary information for the role whatsoever which was a big red flag and gives off the notion that their goal is to pay you the least amount possible versus what you are worth and can bring to the table. 2nd Interview was with a more technical person though the content of it wasn't very technical and pretty informal.

Interview
3/5. Interviewer/recruiter is the company's people experience person or the fancy label they use for their HR. Recruiter did not seem very knowledgable in crypto or blockchain fundamentals. I had to explain it to her. In the end I did not get the role. I checked the HR persons Linkedin and she does not have any technical experience. Seems all her technical HR experience fell through but some guy from Unchained gave her a role. The people she hired for the role also did not have a technical background. Must be a thing they do at this company.
