I had a quick phone screen with the Sr Director of People. She was bubbly and was a good first face to meet. She did a good job of reflecting the culture.

Interview
Recruiter reached out after I applied on their website. She scheduled interviews with other leads and engineers in the company. I'm assuming they're passing on me since I never heard from them again, even after trying to follow up. Too bad companies like this resort to ghosting. They have a good engineering team and a talented ICs. Leadership is questionable. If they want to attract good leaders, they should treat candidates better.

Question 1
Basic questions around leadership style, how my background aligns with what they need and are looking for.
Two very ignorant people doing a cattle call. They sent out a bunch of meeting invites then fire off questions. One of the 2 showed up 10 minutes late in to the call and acted rude and ticked off at who knows what. She had an accounting background for IT security. So spend 20 minutes explaining a complicated process (which I’ve done successfully) to a very ignorant person. This is an accident waiting to happen.
