The hiring manager reached out and was great to talk to—seemed like someone I’d be happy to work for. However, the technical interview with the IC was disappointing. The interviewer appeared unenthusiastic and distracted, which made it challenging to engage in the discussion. In hindsight, it’s probably for the best that I didn’t move forward.
After the process, I came across concerns in other reviews about workplace culture, including reports of discrimination against Southeast Asians and internal dating within the company. These are definitely red flags for me and something worth considering for potential candidates.
