Interview
I applied online and had a phone interview with Jaclyn. She was extremely polite and spent time trying to give me answers to my abundance of questions. Ended up going with another company closer to my apartment

Interview
Like many other companies, this one does not call back or even send emails letting candidates know they are not getting the job. I emailed the founder and HR several times to follow up, literally no response. They need to learn, if you run a company, some times you need to have uncomfortable conversations with people. Think twice if you are applying, this company lacks decorum and professional behavior. Good Luck.
Thank you so much for interviewing with Hemster! We have relayed your feedback to our HR team and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Had a phone interview, then was scheduled for an onsite.
When I arrived at an onsite, I was led to believe there was an office but instead the onsite was held in a room that held ALL of the clothing that was scheduled to be delivered. It was literally in the storage space, which left a bad first impression on me but I figured I'll plow through regardless.
During onsite, the interviewer looked taken aback when I answered that my salary expectations were 45k a year. Interviewer said to expect a call from his manager later on in the week.
Never received the call. A week after my onsite, I saw that the position had been reposted except with the hourly wages now at 15-18 an hour.
It is disrespectful for Hemster to not even bother sending a rejection email after an onsite with a candidate. The fact that both the onsite and phone interviewer never disclosed the actual wage is disingenuous. And while I understand that Hemster has just recently expanded into SF, not being able to afford an ACTUAL working space to conduct interviews is a huge red flag.
We greatly appreciate you taking the time to interview at our company. We highly encourage all applicants to reach out to our HR Department should you have any questions or concerns regarding your application!
