Sight Sciences interview questions

The call went very well with HR, but I ultimately never made it to the second round because they were asking a staff level engineer to take a pay and title cut to take on an engineer level II role. The first round was easy, just basic questions, nothing too technical. But they repeatedly state how the company was "big on promotions" to try and lure better talent in. It seemed as if they were trying to take advantage of the market and get higher talent for lower pay.
