This interview process is a masterclass in departmental silos and internal dysfunction, providing a clear window into why this company’s ratings are so underwhelming. After being re-contacted six weeks after an initial rejection for the same role, I endured a four-round marathon that devolved from a professional assessment into a disorganized cross-examination by departments with conflicting agendas. I was grilled by IT on concepts entirely outside the job description, and the experience hit a low point when HR condescendingly provided a list of finance terms to learn before my final interview. It eventually became evident that the fourth interview was merely a formality to eliminate me amidst friction between GTM, IT, and Finance, a realization confirmed by the predictably unprofessional ghosting that followed. If this experience is any indication of the internal culture, the low Glassdoor scores are well-earned, as the company seems to prioritize departmental gatekeeping and condescension over identifying and respecting experienced talent.

Recruiter (KD or KS?) reached out to me directly and without having submit an application for this role or firm. After I responded positively, the recruiter seemed to pull back, but had already requested I submit an application, which I had, so they agreed to a meeting out of courtesy, I guess? During that meeting, the recruiter was short, uninterested, reading directly from the job posting, and generally made working for this company sound unappealing. When asked if I had any follow-up questions, I simply said 'no', because I had already made my decision, and I had no interest in working for a company that presents itself so unprofessionally.
