Overall, the interview process initially went about as expected. It started with a take home test to see how I'd handle a customer question and from there the interviews began. Everyone I met with was pretty great and friendly. They were even receptive to answering any questions I might have if I felt like there were any concerns or hesitations or anything like that (which I have to say was really refreshing as not a lot of companies tend to be willing to be that transparent during the interview process). I did do two video interviews which I'll admit usually make me kind of uncomfortable (more of an in-person kind of person!) But the people I spoke to were great and made it a lot more easy to engage with over video. Everything was pretty comfortable until things got to the final stage for references. It suddenly felt like there was a tone shift that was happening and the interactions went from pretty transparent and friendly to suddenly feeling kind of like I was being negged. There was a lot of run arounds begin given for this part that really threw me through a loop. I don't think I've ever had so many back and forths regarding references before. I eventually did get a job offer but I turned it down because I just didn't feel comfortable moving forward. The shift from friendliness to mild hostility really put me off. It's really unfortunate, however, because everyone in the company really seemed great and it would have been a really great opportunity.
