I applied for a certain design job and was asked to do a wireframe of basically what the whole job/product was about. I thought this was weird and a bad sign at the time, but I did it anyway (a couple of hours of work). A few days later, I ping the recruiter ("did you receive my work?") and he tells me that the job is no longer being offered and I notice that the position has changed to a developer role (which I most certainly tell him that I have recognized this). If you're following, what this looks like is they had a bunch of candidates design the product then changed the job to the engineer that's going to build it (this is speculation, but...). The recruiter new damn well how shady this was and when I asked him to forward my resume to another recruiter (who handles other design jobs) he responded quickly that he would do so. Never heard from them again. This company reeks of terrible management and bad culture. Their reputation is bad and I knew that going in. Maybe that equity is worth it, idk.
