I applied online. I interviewed at Airoom (Lincolnwood, IL)
Interview
I applied via Indeed and soon after was called by an assistant asking me to come in for an interview. Upon arrival I was seated at one of the kitchen displays and given sort of an IQ test that was timed. Seems they had a consultant sell them on the value to the random questions, some math, some situational. The interview was with the CEO in his office. The conversation was very casual, mostly about past work experience and shared industry contacts. He gave me a brief history of the company and his role. A few weeks later I was invited back to meet with two people in operations. One was very energetic and positive. The other was far less approachable and seemed more concerned in talking me out of the job. As others have pointed out, the job titles at Airoom are not consistent across the industry. The PM role is more of a design and sales role. Looking back on things I should have heeding the advice. A couple weeks later I received an emailed job offer. The terms of the offer include several odd requirements that essentially strip the employee of privacy and 1A rights. The offer was below the range of the posted salary expectations, but a section of the offer had a wildly contrived set of goals for bonus opportunities connected to sales and profitability. Simply put, there was no room for negotiation on any of it.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Airoom (Lincolnwood, IL)
Interview
I went through a call screening, interviewed in person with the accounting manager, controller and took a random assessment all in the same day. They called me in to interview with the president (so this is my 2nd time in their office) They then ghosted me for a few weeks. I'd ask for updates and they would take forever to get back to me. Eventually they finally replied letting me know they hired someone else. They take weeks in-between steps. Their communication in the process sucks.
