I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lunchbox Technologies in Dec 2024
Interview
Interview with the head of talent, then my potential direct report (manager), and finally the COO (executive team). All were 30-minute Google Meet virtual interviews and fairly informal. All three interviewers' expectations for the role were different and unaligned. The interview with the COO was the most difficult and he seemed to want to try and scare me away from the role. He didn't seem to speak too highly of the company or the current team.

Pretty straightforward, very conversational in nature and not too scripted. They wanted to know about relevant food industry experience so that they could be sure you could 'talk the talk' with restaurant owners...all very reasonable.

Interview
I submitted my application online and was subsequently contacted by a recruiter. Our initial call went well; we both felt a strong alignment, and I was genuinely excited about the role. It seemed like I was almost guaranteed to proceed in the process, with the recruiter indicating I'd hear from them the next day.
However, the next day came and went without any communication. I followed up via email, only to be informed that they had extended an offer to another candidate that very morning. It was quite perplexing.
Undeterred, I reached out again on Monday for an update, only to receive an email the following day stating that they had halted hiring for the position due to internal restructuring. This series of events raised significant concerns for me.
