had an awful interview at carta (they have a 49% negative rating on GD) that i thought id share. recruiter was 20 minuters late 😂 - ok so recruiters are dumb, we all know that. first thing the interview gal did was say the role isnt open (it clearly was and i was staring right at it) and theyd like more experience - ok so why did i pass the filter then 😂 next thing the recruiter starts shitting on cisco as if she was a Blinder and i was so taken back. sweetheart, youre a *recruiter* at a company that makes a CRUD toy - ok Cisco sucks, i get it. the final thing was so fucking hilarious. while holding my anger in i politely asked “so why carta, what gets you up in the morning and excited to work here” the recruiter said they have unlimited customers and “were going to take over the world with our product” 😂😂😂 i lost it and started cracking up laughing. im sorry i couldnt take it anymore and i knew there were no next steps. i said “look, you guys build SaaS for an extremely fixed supply niche customers. theres no unlimited market and youre foolish to think youre on a rocketship. youre not google” i know im going to get roasted since im #cisco but i thought id share this since the experience was too hilarious not to share. got a carta interview coming up? be warned
Neat.
Haha fuck them
Entertaining story, thanks for sharing.
Lol now I want to do it for a good laugh
Do it. I guarantee you’ll get an interview. Such insanely delusional people there lmfao
Would have walked out in the beginning.
Liar. If you walk out, that’s the end.
To be or not to be

Wow. Thanks for sharing but it’s great to spread stories like this so others will just avoid these so called rocket ships at all costs.
