I went through a lengthy process with Intelligems — six interviews over two months, a take-home assignment, and provided references. Everyone I spoke with was kind, thoughtful, and clearly invested in building a curious, values-driven team. The product itself is solving interesting challenges in e-commerce, and I remained genuinely excited throughout the process.
That said, the experience was frustrating in several ways. There were frequent delays, vague timelines, and inconsistent communication. I was asked for references (which were never contacted), then heard nothing for a week. Eventually, I was told they were moving forward with someone “more technical,” though my technical background was never directly discussed or assessed. Most interviews focused heavily on culture fit, with little conversation about the actual day-to-day needs of the role.
After all that, the role remains listed as open on their job board — which adds to the confusion. Reading the one other Glassdoor review, I saw several similarities to my own experience, which makes me think these issues may be systemic rather than one-off.
If you're applying, know that you'll likely meet a great team — but the process may be long, unclear, and not fully aligned with the role’s expectations.
