RentRedi interview questions

The interview process was… unforgettable. It began with a take-home backend project sent by someone who seemed to be a tech lead — no HR, no structure, just vibes. I took it seriously, delivered early, and went the extra mile to make the project testable. The review call was next-level chaos: the interviewer joined late (again, first time 6 mins late, second time 4mins late), the connection was something out of a time machine, and the tone? Equal parts dismissive, sarcastic, and borderline hostile. I was interrupted, accused of not knowing how things worked, and asked if the code was even mine — followed by ironic laughter and then... click. Call ended. No warning. Just gone. If this is how feedback is handled during interviews, you start to wonder: If a company can cancel mid-meeting without explanation and has no formal hiring process, what’s stopping them from doing the same once you’re hired? Feel like one day they will fire you in the same way. Advice to the company: Candidates aren’t just code generators. Structure, respect, and communication go a long way — both in hiring and retaining talent. Otherwise not sure why K1 Investment Management and RiverPark Ventures would spend more money on them.

Pretty basic interview. Nothing special. The owner was a nice guy and definitely seemed like someone good to work for. The only issue was they were offering 65k a year for a Video Producer role..... in New York City. The ad originally said 55-60k. Imagine doing all aspects of video production for that amount of money, the amount that basically an Associate Producer would make at a company with an actual video team. You're being asked to start a department at literally a salary that you could make as a freelancer in 6 months out of the year. They said they had another employee tell them that rate was appropriate, but clearly they have never worked in video production. Honestly an insulting salary
