Ghosted after 6 rounds? Advice?
I got ghosted from a AI tech startup called Harper after 4 Interviews in January and they invited me in SF office for a different role this March and I had a horrific unorganized, unprofessional experience and they basically had me do free work 9-5 and called it a "super day". I travelled 3 hours for this and spent $110 on parking and gas.
The founder was apparently so busy he never acknowledged me, despite me being right there in the tiny ass office lol he was the one who emailed me for the role?
I finally greeted him in the end myself, the whole office gave worshipping vibes of the founder. He seemed like a non-leader based off management style (first impression)
There was less than 45 employees there and they were all men and a few were demeaning in my interviews and felt overall sexist ( I am a young woman and recently graduated)
The office smelled like weed??
At one interview the random sales guy tried to tell me I rolled my eyes??? I did not and It was so weird.
They never gave me lunch on time after trying to woo me with "free food" initially.
The role was paying an ok salary and that's the only reason I went but after discovering the hours were 14 hours longs days straight I was not impressed.
I would not recommend applying at this Startup. I have worked at startups and they don't need to be this messy and unorganized and unprofessional!
to top it off they ghosted me after 3 months of this!
