CASTLE GLOBAL Devops Engineer interview questions

Two rounds of phone screens, one with the manager and one, more technical with a team member. A couple weeks later, a two-hour on-site. This included the manager again, which felt like an exploration of tech philosophy/culture fit. Then the CTO did a bit more of a technical and problem-solving evaluation. Lastly, the CEO came in and did what felt like a slightly confrontational version of a negotiation, immediately bringing up significant red flags like contract-to-hire, a management style where everyone always has to be in the office because that's how they "move fast", and a concern, odd at the CEO level, with a lack of experience with the specific tools they happen to be using. Overall, the on-site interview process seemed not very well organized, with multiple recruiters involved. When I arrived, I was immediately put into the room, and once the CEO was done with me, it seemed like I was expected to find my own way out. Sadly, despite coming with an open mind, I left with the impression that this is still the same company as the negative reviews here on GD.
