Disclaimer: This does not reflect Remote as a company since this is only a review of their recruitment process. I don't think Remote is at all transparent based on how my application went. Ironically, transparency is one of their core values Here's an outline of what happened - Had an initial interview with the recruiter - Had a panel interview with the immediate manager and a potential colleague - Had a panel interview with managers from different regions - Had an interview with the department director - Waited almost 1.5 months for the results - I was following up with them throughout the long wait, and they say that the "role is yet to be approved" - Got an offer via Docusign and negotiated the salary immediately - They granted the salary after 3-4 days - I asked a couple of questions about their benefits and also some arrangements about moving my start date - they were responsive about this and I was really excited to start with them - One day they answered my last question about their HMO and that's when I also decided to resign from my current company - 2 hours later they voided my offer telling me that they need to rescind because the team is suddenly going in a different direction - It was a vague reason for me so I probed and asked them about the sudden change in decision. I assumed they kinda got tired of waiting because I had so many questions (but this is how I always do things before entering a company) - They didn't reply to me anymore and I discovered they reopened the same role 2 days later Nonetheless, I think I dodged a bullet because I felt like there was a lot going on in the background, and only very little was communicated to me. Mind you that this is coming from someone who applied to this company thrice because I was amazed about how they advertised their culture. Take what you want from this review, but I hope Remote also practices transparency with their candidates. I was just pretty lucky that I haven't tendered my resignation before they rescinded the offer.

AI interview is an interesting step, but I have enjoyed it nevertheless. All questions have been answered, although some words and sentences from my responses were lacking part of what I said, or misspelled a word completely. Still, Waiting for a feedback after the AI interview and looking forward to the rest of the process.
