Open Farm Pet interview questions

6 rounds of interviews. A very long process, which I took some time off for. I went through the whole process, they seemed to have really liked me. Emailed me saying everyone was excited and thrilled with me joining, etc. I reached out for an update after the final round and they kept telling me they are deliberating and I'll have an answer end of the week. Different answer than the final interview and email telling me I passed the gauntlet, including the recruiter. This kept being repeated for a month. Got another offer for a similar role, and told them, they asked me to wait on accepting for the week, and then ghosted me. I accepted the other offer and now a Data Science and Analytics manager elsewhere. All in all, I felt disrespected and my time was wasted. I went through 6 rounds of interviews. If they wanted to reject me, just let me know, I am okay with being told no. Instead, they dragged me along and kept saying wait wait wait until finally I went elsewhere. Highly unprofessional conduct, and would strongly not recommend. Interviews work both ways. Applicants give their best to be present and respectful, but the same is expected from the potential employer. The job is no longer listed, and I do not think anyone was hired for it.

The interview process was drawn out and filled with numerous inconsistencies and false promises regarding compensation and travel budgets. For two weeks I attempted to get answers about insurance coverage and was never given the information I requested. Personally, I believe they gave me no answer rather than confirm that a medication (Wegovy) is not covered under their plan formulary. Ultimately an offer was extended (and later withdrawn). It is important to note that Open Farm was made aware of an existing misdemeanor on record before a written offer was extended. An offer was extended but with an incredibly restrictive non-compete agreement buried in the 30+ page offer. My lawyer brought my attention to the provisions and how broad they were (total industry lockout for one year no matter the manner of separation). I highlighted my concerns regarding the non-compete and stated I would only sign a non-compete with an equivalent term of severance, several days later the offer was withdrawn and I was told by HR that it was due to the organization becoming aware of my inability to pass a background check. Never mind the fact that the hiring manager had been notified before a written offer was ever extended… The gaslighting that goes on here is beyond wild. All that glitters is not gold. At first I was very excited about this organization, but every single touch point left me with an increasingly uneasy feeling.
