I applied online and received an email from the recruiter in the following week to set up an interview. I was genuinely interested in the company and their reputation despite all the negative interview experiences I see on Glassdoor. The recruiter quickly followed-up with me after our 30 minutes conversation over the phone to move forward onto the next step. I was told to complete an analytics exercise which, took me several hours to complete. The interview process seemed pretty straightforward from there on and I was moved onto the final round on-site.
This is when I started to realize that the director of product operations whom, I was interviewing at the last stage is fishing for ideas. He asked a lot of questions on improvements, and how I would pitch my sales to restaurants to increase demand. I noticed that a lot of the interviewing have been one way and not much in return on what I can learn and gain from the interviewers. Overall, terrible company and management - they only care about new ideas that they can feed off of other people and nothing else. My interview experience was awful and I could not believe that with all the time I have spent on the analytics exercise, meeting with the last two interviewers, and having my ideas being stolen I did not receive the job offer.
