These people are scam artists. They dragged me through an interview process that took more than a month and had me interview with seven (7) different people. I even interviewed with one of the Private Equity partners that owns the company. The entire time, they pumped me for information and ideas. At the end, they made a verbal offer with a salary that was well below the market rate. We were then in the middle of negotiating the salary (at least I thought) when they abruptly broke off communication only to notify me several days later that they would be "heading in a different direction." The fact is, they never had any intention of hiring me (or anybody for this position). They've figured out that they can use LinkedIn to re-post specific high-level positions over and over and "interview" candidates as a way of getting free Product and Technology consulting. This is why, IMO, they are complete scam artists. Completely unprofessional. I sent them a bill for my time -given how egregious and duplicitous their intent, and how much of my time they consumed -but they have yet to pay. I will be taking them to small claims court. Moreover, I will be watching their products to see if they pursue any of the gold-nugget ideas that I gave them. If they do, I will be suing for a MUCH larger amount; a staggering amount; an eye-watering amount; a jaw-dropping amount; a hand-wringing amount; you get the picture. Luckily, I'm in a position to have sufficient resources to draw out a court battle for years and to hire enough of the right attorneys to make sure that it either: 1. goes my way, or 2. makes life extremely difficult and time consuming for Kalkomey. Scoundrels.
