I interviewed with several people at the company, including those on the team. First off, when the director of Recruiting asked for what I wanted in compensation, they responded, "We'll try our best to meet industry standard, but we make up for it in cutting edge technology and unique experiences." That was a huge red flag to basically offer to pay in exposure. This was in the first interview too. The rest of the interviews went incredibly well, and I sent my impressions to the director of recruiting, as they asked me to. I asked for a follow-up and heard nothing, eventually I was told I'd be contacted at "this time". "That time" came and passed and still no response, I sent another follow up email. When I didn't hear anything back after two weeks, I cut my losses. I then get an email a month later that was filled with typing errors and excuses. They stated that they hired someone else, which would have been fine, but then said they tried so hard to get me hired as well since they liked me so much but couldn't find anything. They told me they'd keep in touch. Well, the position is still listed on the website and they didn't even bother to do what they said they would in terms of keeping in touch. The whole process took three weeks and they expected me to interview over five times. They asked me to be prompt and interview as soon as possible but then proceeded to not respond to any of my emails until a month later. If you're going to ask this, I expect the same prompt courtesy. The salary I asked for was on the lower side considering my experience and was lower from what past/current employees are reporting for the same position. So there is no reason why they cannot pay industry standard, guess they just didn't want to and hoped to pay someone even less. To then send an email a month and a half after no response and not even proofread tells me I dodged a bullet. Very unprofessional for a recruiter let alone a head of the recruiting department to act this way. Recruiting and HR are the forefront of the company, and if they're unprofessional it's very telling that the company is not worth the time.
