I had a very short Google hangout with someone from HR then did met the founder on Zoom. Everyone was really nice, and it sounds like they're doing interesting work. When it came to salary though - they just don't pay enough. Everyone is corp to corp - there are no benefits. And the founder tells me that they are paying extremely senior guys about 40% less than what I am making now. They tout themselves as hiring senior people from Google and the like, but that really doesn't seem possible given their salary expectations. No developer at Google is going to take a 50% or highr pay cut with no benefits for the promise of "working on esomething cool." I was upfront about what I was currently making, and didn't ask for more. The founder tried to convince me that what I'm making now isn't going rate. I can tell you that I've done a tone of interviewing and worked in lots of contract jobs and that he's flat wrong. In fact I just took another position at the "unrealistic" rate . There are a number of other people on Glassdoor with exectly the same complaint. Everybody is remote and corp to corp - so they have very very few expenses. I can only conclude that they are either charging their clients way too little or they are they are taking a much higher cut of their consultants earnings than is reasonable.
