A less than ideal experience of average difficulty with some off putting behavior. Team was mostly friendly along the interview process (HR chat, video with hiring manager, onsite interview; got to the final round when they sent an automated rejection email).
Few issues and suggestions: from the video interview, I got the sense that they never really seemed interested in me as a candidate. I’m not too sure why they even invited me for an onsite - maybe to meet some quota? I’m not sure. The team during the onsite was friendly and asked standard quality questions. This is really the only reason I am rating the experience as neutral instead of negative. Only suggestions to the company and this particular team: Please do not invite a candidate for an almost 4 hour onsite interview if they’re not a serious candidate. It is a massive waste of time and money (I had to spend $60 on transportation and move another interview around for this one) for the candidate; we do not get paid to go to interviews. And also, for the love of God, DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE DURING AN INTERVIEW! I can’t believe I have to say this! It is extremely unprofessional, and will leave a poor taste in the prospective hire’s mouth.

Interview
First contact was through email where they explained their interest in getting to know more about me. Then I had two interviews, via Teams. The first was scheduled for the following day after the initial email. The second, however, was scheduled for later in the day following an email request. In retrospect, this was a clear sign of their lack of organization and planning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Another question, go through your experience on your resume.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Myomo (Boston, MA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Had a phone screening and was moved on to the in-person interview. Had two good conversations, and one poor one. The meeting with someone from Engineering was an awful experience. They answered phone call and was clearly texting/googling while I was answering questions. They also started the interview by saying “I don’t read resumes and I haven’t read yours”.
After the in/person, I never heard from them again (was ghosted). They said they only had one other person at that stage of interviews too (it was the final round).
