Talked with recruiter and got a great first impression. Next talked with an engineering manager and again thought everything sounded great. Feeling very excited about the opportunity.
Looked into the company a bit more and read the horror stories about the CEO. Read a lot on Blind about bad it is to work here. I thought I’d still give it a chance.
Moved on to technical interview, the coding questions were pretty easy. First interviewer was good but didn’t have much good to say about the company. Not very enthusiastic.
Second interviewer was awful. Very cynical and into himself. Didn’t turn on webcam and sounded distracted. Made company sound like not a good place to work. It was very hard to take him seriously and have a good conversation. Ended the interview early after solving coding question in 5 minutes then asking him questions for half an hour and hearing nothing positive.
