I applied online. I interviewed at Luzmo in Jun 2025
Interview
Initial chat with VP of engineering, cut short as salary expectations did not match. Had a pleasant discussion up until then just discussing background, the company, team composition, and what we were both looking for.
It would have been better if either the salary range was posted on the job description or I was asked to provide salary expectations during the application process for screening. Nonetheless it was only 20 minutes of my time.
Don't waste your time with these guys. I did the initial HR phone interview and was then given a technical task. I submitted the task, was told they would get back to me within a week but never heard from them again. No feedback, nothing. Highly unprofessional people without respect for a candidate's time.

Question 1
Initial phone interview with HR is standard stuff, to see if your needs align with theirs.

Interview
Interview with HR. She was lovely. Interview with Chief Scientific Officer. The CSO was the rudest, most curt person I have ever spoken to in 13 years of my professional career. WOW!

Question 1
There were no set questions. The CSO asked detailed questions, and then cuts you off before you get to answer. He chose to ignore the wide breadth of my 13 years of experience, and spent FIFTEEN minutes harping on one number I said incorrectly. He hardly listened, barely engaged in conversation, and was honestly, the rudest person I have ever interviewed with. I'm quite glad I won't be working with him.
