The first stage of the process was 30 minute phone interview with VP of Engineering, primarily for technical screening. HR followed up and scheduled a series of in person interviews at their office. The in-person meetings were comprised of interviews with HR, 3 members of the engineering team (including the VP), and the CEO. The engineering team were friendly and knowledgable, but came across as a bit fatigued of the operational challenges that existed in the company. I thought they asked excellent technical questions that exhibited that they were serious about making high-quality, maintainable software. The CEO was entirely unpleasant to speak with; the level of abrasiveness and arrogance that she displayed made for an eye-opening experience.
They would not discuss salary requirements during the interview (per CEO, "I know what people are worth"), and they implement a "one offer" system. This means that they offer a salary that is non-negotiable.
A week or so after the interview, I received a very low offer via email. Benefits included a good medical plan, 18 days of PTO, a non-contributing 401k, and a TriMet pass. I declined the offer due to the low salary and unpleasant leadership.
