I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DeepSeas
Interview
One of the worst interview experiences I have ever had. From the initial contact, I received unsettling signals from the recruiter, who gave the impression of desperation to fill the position rather than genuine interest in finding a suitable candidate. However, the true extent of the unprofessionalism became clear during the actual interview with the VP and hiring manager. I was consistently interrupted mid-sentence while attempting to answer questions, a clear display of disrespect for my time and contributions. The entire experience was profoundly disheartening and demonstrated a distinct lack of professionalism that I found unacceptable.
Based on this experience, I would strongly advise any true CS professionals to reconsider wasting their valuable time at this company. No one deserves to be treated with such disregard and disrespect in a professional setting.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DeepSeas in Sept 2025
Interview
4 rounds. Rushed for their benefit, lack of communication, ghosted for weeks while they went with another candidate. Mentioned a different role that I would be a good fit for then ghosted me again. Talent acquisition explained the company as “chaotic” during first round interview, I should have ran for the hills.
