The first round is a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager, focusing on an in-depth resume review to assess skills, experiences, and alignment with the role. The hiring manager was dismissive, ignored your actual experience, misrepresented your timeline, and after you answered his behavioral questions, abruptly asked, “Did you finish?”

I applied online. I interviewed at Otter.ai (Los Altos, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
I interviewed with Otter remotely in February. The process was very smooth and they were very respectful of my time. The recruiter I was in touch with was very clear and prompt in conveying timelines and was super helpful throughout the whole process.
The interviews themselves were great and I got a very clear understanding of the company, product, and tech stack. Everyone I spoke to was super passionate about the company and their work.
I accepted because I felt this would a be a great place to work for a New Grad and was really sold by the company vision and product.
