Received a form email asking for a 90 second video talking about why you admired Flagright's culture. Did some more digging and figured out that these tech bros subscribe to the "dig yourself into an early grave for a toxic boss culture". Must've skipped over the part of the description that read people who "actually prioritize work life balance" will "struggle here" in the job description. Needless to say, I withdrew my application. Not looking to be exploited by an overtly toxic organization like this. Editing based on the response given: A 90 second video is not "too much" for me as a candidate. Asking me to do that before I've had a chance to get to know Flagright's culture, combined with the highly toxic, concerning wording in the job description is what makes it too much. This company likes to talk about hiring people who can "leave their ego at the door" and I will say, that's very much my ethos. No task is too "small" for me or too far removed from my "job description". I'm happy to put my ego aside for a company that does the same. The company's job description indicates an incredibly inflated ego of its own importance and also indicates the extreme level of the founders' egos. If a company is not willing to put its own ego aside when asking me to do the same, that's what makes it toxic. I'm sure the "founding recruiter" will take this as more "angry wording" that obviously reflects poorly on me and not them, but hopefully this helps other sane humans avoid this company in the future.
