I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Textel (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2022
Interview
15 minute Zoom meeting with Recruiter
1 hour Zoom meeting with Lead Product Owner, Lead of Product Design. and Recruiter
1 hour in person meeting with CEO/Founder, Lead PO, and Recruiter
Then a weird sting of emails that seemed like the "HR" did not know what they were doing or what they wanted.
Sent an email with an "offer" but questions about start date. I asked about the benefits they offered. I got a very generic, lack of details response with their "benefits". Gave them my preference of start date, but told them I was will to start when needed. They did not respond for a week. When they did they said they would get back to me the following week. A week goes by so I asked them where we were in the offer status. Three days later they said there was no offer.
Don't recommend. Seem very disorganized and unprofessional. Lots of wasted time in this process. Very discouraged with my interactions with this company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Textel in Feb 2021
Interview
Recruiter call, plus three calls with the company. The first call is with the new VP, the next was with the co-founder/CTO, the next was with the software development team, including the VP. None of the calls were very technical. They were all "getting to know you" and "culture fit" calls. The few technical questions there were asked revealed technical immaturity in the company as a start-up "growing up". They really need someone to step in and instill modern software development process and standards. They recently (4 months) hired a VP to do that, but I have 10 more years of experience than her. Perhaps that threatened the VP. I was pulled through the entire interview process. I was verbally told that the position was essentially mine to lose. They were all happy, excited to work with me, and asked when I could start - then nothing. After the final interview they sat on their hands for two days before passing without explanation. Amateur hour!
