Interview
The interview was very conversational, mostly about leadership philosophy. The technical interview was essentially trivia questions. The questions had "no wrong answers." They look for three things: culture fit, tech skills match and leadership skills match.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What skills do you think you would need support on if you joined this role?
Half hour call with recruiter, very positive and assured my next interview will be within a week, then completely ghosted.
3 months later they reach out to me again for the same role, half hour call with recruiter, positive again with a description of what interview to expect next - receive email in a few days that they're restructuring and the role no longer exists.
Much improved recruiter, but still not a serious company. Would not recommend wasting your time
