      Generalist Interview

      9 May 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Layer (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Initial call went by very quickly. Phone interviewer seemed knowledgable, but a recent hire himself. His role was still being defined. The questions were focused on the general product, and he did most of the talking. I came in for an on-site, and the team was very disorganized. The interview started late, random people were pulled in. An engineering head was given the task of giving me a business case. I literally got to watch the first interviewer hand this role to the second interviewer. When I asked for clarifications and specifics, he couldn't answer, and instead went on tangents. No follow up from anyone at the company post the interview. I believe in the product, but the team feels like a group of people from a third-tier state school that lucked out some of their product decisions thus far. Primed to explode unless real management is installed.
