The interview felt quite unstructured and rather awkward. The interviewer barely asked anything beyond requesting a brief explanation of my background. As a result, I ended up taking the lead; essentially steering the conversation and posing most of the questions myself. I was okay with that dynamic, though it was definitely unusual and not what I'd expect from a typical process.
I didn't advance past the first round, but that's perfectly fine. I only took the interview as practice for my upcoming FAANG interviews.
One aspect I was particularly curious about was whether the Glassdoor reviews accurately captured the company culture. From what I could gather by probing during the conversation, the complaints about work-life balance seem spot-on: expectations often include 10–12 hour days, limited time off, and some degree of CEO micromanagement.
Overall, based on my experience, this could be a solid entry-level role for a recent college grad looking to gain experience and use it as a stepping stone to a stronger SaaS company down the line.
