The initial interview process was efficient, starting with a Zoom call with the recruiter followed by three subsequent interviews: two lasting ≈30 minutes and one lasting ≈45 minutes, involving the hiring manager and two partners. However, there was a significant disconnect during one of the partner interviews. The interviewer, a Senior-level professional, appeared to be unprepared regarding the specific role I was interviewing for and spent the majority of the time asking questions relevant to a different position. When I shifted the conversation to internal communications, the interviewer candidly stated the company does not prioritize communication, adding that employees typically learn of major updates via external news sources. This level of candor was unexpected and revealed a concerning perspective on internal organizational transparency and employee engagement.
