I applied online. I interviewed at Velvet Caviar (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Complete waste of time. Their job description, emails, and content on their website are all 100% Chat GPT-generated.
They reached out after I applied to answer questions, which I did, and then they asked me to schedule an interview.
My interview was with Andres. To say this person was not excited to be there would be a massive understatement. He lacked any personality or interest in the interview.
The questions and dialog made it pretty clear he did zero homework on me, he was completely miserable, he does not understand SEO (their website is a mess and he suggested things that were incorrect or black hat), asked questions not related to the job per their AI-made job description, and seemed rushed to run through a list of questions and move on.
I am leaving this review because they never got back to me with a yes or no, and the same job just got reposted on LinkedIn. So they ghosted me on top of wasting my time.
Very unprofessional.
Interest was expressed via LinkedIn and I was directed to fill out a survey. I received an email a few weeks later for an interview. The person doing my interview spoke over me most of the time and didnt really ask alot of questions regarding me. Never heard anything back after the interview. Company doesn't seem diverse.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We talked alot about the role description and the owners dog.
I do not believe this company will ever hire so do not waste your time. Interviews are conducted with phone screens, months later an in-person, days later an online test and then nothing. Not even a "thank you but no thank you". Jobs are posted on LinkedIn, taken down, re-posted, taken down, posted as a different level, taken down. I wouldn't trust this company at all for hiring and retaining talent. They clearly do not know what they want in a candidate and chances are, they have no intentions on hiring.
