There was an initial interview with the CEO and the Executive Assistant/CFO. The CFO asked professional and relevant questions, but the CEO seemed distracted and not very engaged throughout the discussion. He challenged my transition from science to marketing, and some of his questions felt inappropriate—for example, asking whether I had a family. I was later offered a second in‑person interview, which I declined. They took over a month to respond to my request for clarification about the hybrid working arrangement, and they also stated they would not cover travel expenses. While they were not obligated to do so, the trip would have required traveling a long distance and was beyond my budget.
