It was a 30-minute interview with the Co-Founder and Director of Product. They didn’t introduce themselves or provide context about the role, and moved straight into questioning. When I tried to engage or ask questions in return, the responses were very brief and offered little opportunity for a two-way conversation. If this is indicative of how the team operates, it’s not an environment I’d want to be part of.

I recently had an initial video call via Google Meet with Lucinda. She came across as friendly during the conversation, which I appreciated. However, I found it somewhat unprofessional that there was no follow-up communication afterward, especially considering the nature of the call. It involved several in-depth questions, which suggests it should have been clearly identified as a first-stage interview rather than an informal chat.
From our discussion, it appears the team is quite small, with only one staff member covering weekends. This likely means they are being very selective in their hiring process. That said, based on the working hours mentioned, the role seems to lack a healthy work-life balance, which is something candidates should be aware of when considering this opportunity.
