I had an hour long interview with the hiring manager assessing my soft skills. The hiring manager was disinterested and unpleasant. She also asked me questions that were unrelated to a software engineering role. The questions she asked were more for a manager or a product person. She really turned me off from the company.

A recruiter reached out to me to see if I'd like to talk about positions. I had never heard of the company, and it seemed kind of gimmicky to me (cue the 2am infomercials), but figured it doesn't hurt to have a conversation. After the recruiter conversation, I spoke with a manager. When that went well, I did a tech screen. The tech screen was pretty easy, and everyone I had talked to up to that point seemed very nice and personable. They kept saying it was important to treat employees like people. When my tech screen went well, I was told the next step was the virtual onsite, and someone would reach out to schedule it. Instead, after waiting a week, I received a generic rejection letter, with absolutely no feedback to tell me what happened. I guess treating everyone like a person only goes so far.
