A recruiter for the company found me on LinkedIn. There were multiple phone calls with various members of the marketing team, after an initial screen from a hiring manager at their small workspace downtown. More than one of the interviewers were based in NYC and recruiting for the SF office (not yet built at this point).

Shockingly horrible! After a reasonably pleasant phone screening with the recruiter (that was full of inaccurate information from their sales pitch, but that's their job I guess), I was set up to have a phone interview with the hiring manager for Client Solutions. I wanted to work with his very busy schedule, so I took a 7 am call my time since he was 3 hours ahead. From the second he got on the phone and grumbled hello with zero pleasantries, I knew he did not want to be on the phone and did not want to be conducting this interview. This is very off-putting for a potential employee. Especially since that team has pretty bad reviews on Glassdoor to begin with. He continued to ask very few, but very lame interview questions such as, "What are you bad at?" and "Why should I NOT hire you?" That was basically it! Was this a joke? Nope. I was just relieved to get off the phone and get as far away from this company as possible.
