- imax11 8y agoFirst time applying. Got the rejection letter. One and done. Will push forward but wont apply again.
- Jack000 8y agoimo it's probably better to be rejected at this stage than the interview stage. I previously got an interview and spent 4 days in travel (they only fund the cheapest flights on hipmunk, which often has several connections), for a 10 minute interview where I thought most of the questions were answered in my written application, only to be rejected anyways. I'm sure there are sound reasons for the short interview time, but it feels disproportionate to the effort. The best part of that experience was probably talking to the other startups.
- imax11 8y agoTrue. I didnt appriciate the late rejection letters past 3am EST. Seems a bit self serving. No need to wait that long to send out letters except to creat a hype
- hughguiney 8y agoI was furious with that. First off, all I knew was that invites were being sent out on Tuesday. Then after intermittently refreshing my inbox all morning and into the early afternoon, I went to Twitter and saw some people claiming they don’t get sent out until 10 PM Pacific. Thought it strange for them to come so far outside of business hours; not to mention 10 PM Pacific is 12 AM Central (my time), 1 AM Eastern. But I stayed up past my bedtime and still, nothing. At 1 AM Central I finally said f it, and went to bed. This morning I got my rejection with a timestamp of 2:42 AM. Seriously?? Now I have to start my day off with a rejection instead of ending my day with a rejection where I could sleep on it and probably feel better in the morning. So incredibly inconsiderate.
