Recruiter reached out to me. Any insight about this company? How is the culture, pay & future prospects?
It is a very well respected team. The founders and techies were spin out of MetaSwitch. Savvy in networking and security. Their oss projects very well used by all container distros, all cloud vendors and more. The CEO seems a business and technology focused. Well funded and dont need more funding in 2019. Very good place to join for 2019
I interviewed there. From the 1st interview I didn’t think it was a fit. There seemed to be a lack of focus in the area I was I was interviewing for. I kept going in the process and kept it as an option. As I progressed through the interview process, it was very clear they were very interested and even made me an offer to come aboard on a contract to hire basis (which I was not interested in). That’s when things got weeeeird.... At that interview, it was my understanding that was the last step. But it turns out there was another round, this time a one on one with the CEO. I thought that this was going to be a performer meeting given that I have passed the three other rounds prior. The -hr scheduled meeting turned out to be a 2 hour technical deep dive which no one prepared me for. After that, they asked me in for another technical route. In the end, they declined to proceed further after telling me they would get back to me within a couple of days. It took them two weeks. For this role in particular, they seem to not know what they were looking for. Things kept shifting and they seem incredibly unorganized. My understanding is that their compensation is mainly cash in stock. Even things like free lunch and commuter benefits (which by law are required in San Francisco for companies of a certain size which they would qualify) are not offered. But since I did not receive an offer I cannot verify that
Did you proceed with the process?
