Interview
Super fragmented interview process. Weeks passed between rounds before I ever heard status updates. Follow ups went ignored, questions went unanswered.
They took 7 weeks for 3 interviews -- 1 of the interviews was just an additional interview with the 1st person I spoke to, which seems extremely redundant because I got asked the same questions again - maybe just do a better job listening?
Despite multiple follow-ups, I was ignored, and they only got back to me because I nudged someone else on the firm who was not involved in the process to check with them.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Venture Guides
Interview
The interview process has been quite disorganized, with multiple people on the same thread and confusion around the overall process - I could also see other candidates who are interviewing for the same position! I did have a great conversation with parts of the team, but a few senior members seemed to be direct family members of the managing partners and didn’t appear to have much investing experience. Repeated questions asked throughout the process.
