My experience with Project Expedition's interview process was disappointing and unprofessional, particularly in the final stage.
The first one-way interview and second interview with staff members were standard and went smoothly. However, the third interview with the two founders was where things fell apart.
During this final interview, one founder remained completely silent, merely staring at me throughout the session. The other founder's approach was equally concerning - he repeatedly asked variations of "Are you sure this doesn't put you off?" as if actively trying to discourage my interest. Even more unprofessionally, he was visibly distracted and multitasking during our conversation.
Despite coming fully prepared with company research and providing comprehensive answers to their questions, I was ultimately unsuccessful. Most troubling was that none of the questions in this final interview seemed designed to evaluate my skills or qualifications for the position.
Based on my observations of current employees, I've noticed a concerning pattern that suggests hiring decisions may be influenced by appearance rather than merit, with a noticeable trend toward attractive female employees.
This experience left me questioning the company's professionalism and hiring practices. A truly merit-based selection process should focus on candidates' qualifications and potential contributions, not irrelevant factors. This is what happens when you have two founders who clearly care more about lookism then ability.

Can you tell me about yourself and what experience you have?
To echo was some others have said on here, I had a great initial interview with their recruiter and a team lead. In fact my interactions with most people at the company were very positive. However, the interview with the founders themselves was a bit odd. They seemed largely apathetic about the interview as well as the company itself. I don't think they are actually this way "in the office", but it didn't give me a great impression of them as managers/leaders.

I'm both comforted and disappointed to hear that others had the exact same interview experience I did. The first two interviews were great - the one-way video interview had interesting prompts, and was easy to submit. The second interview with a member of the team went well, and got me excited to potentially join the team. The third interview, with the founders? Made me regret applying in the first place. One of them hadn't even bothered to show up on time, so we were left waiting for him before we could even start. They then proceeded to ask me a series of generic, cookie-cutter interview questions that were clearly pulled from the internet, and being read off of a sheet in front of them. I wouldn't have minded that part so much if they had even bothered to look at me for half of the interview. They both barely looked in my direction, and generally acted like I was wasting their time/they'd rather be absolutely anywhere else. Really disappointing experience overall.
